The key to analyzing data are the lab and dnabrowser programs.

The DNA Browser

To run the DNA Browser:

./bin/dnabrowser <germline file>

A "germline file" is a file that contains one DNA document per line. It can consist of a single DNA, many different DNA, or a "germline" (a line of descendant DNAs, generated by the lab program). The browser creates a specimen from each DNA and visualizes it. You can move to the previous/next specimen with the cursor keys.

Alternately, you can ask the browser to generate 1000 random DNAs and have fun looking at all the different shapes:

./bin/dnabrowser --random

The Lab

If you run an persistent experiment with the --history argument, it will store historical information about the experiment, including the whole gene pool. After that, you can extract the history from the file with the lab program. Run it with --help to see all the options.

Look at Workflow Examples to see some of the things you can do.
