Module Types
Core Modules
The Core modules contain classes relating to the functioning of the site, including its core user and database interface methods. These classes route the user to various pages, dictate the architecture of the tools, and manage the sandbox where new tools are developed. The core modules ensure that the site operates smoothly and efficiently, providing a robust framework for all other functionalities.
Context Modules
The Context modules focus on the organization of users' data, making distinctions among three key contexts: users, profiles, and kits. Users represent the individuals accessing the site. Profiles are the people in the users' family trees, to which DNA kits may or may not be linked. Kits are the DNA data associated with these profiles. Context modules are essential for managing and structuring the site's data and the interactions between the tools and the data.
Math/Scientific Modules
The Math/Scientific modules involve complex mathematical modeling at the SNP, segment, chromosome, and genome levels. These modules heavily utilize matrix math and Boolean algebra to perform sophisticated calculations and analyses. They are fundamental in processing genetic data and power the site's DNA reconstruction algorithms.
