    monitoring assignments. 3:00pm – Bioinformatics Tools Website Christian Oakley (BA), Daniel Shin (BA) The Bioinformatics Tools project is a web server to host pre-existing tools for protein modelling. Students and researchers can submit protein strings and receive estimations of a protein’s structure and function. They can also submit models of a protein’s structure and get back a summary of how accurate the model is. It uses a Docker backend with FastAPI and a Celery queue, with a MySQL database, and a
