Portions of this project were coded by hand on a PowerBook G4 and a MacBook using TextWrangler from Bare Bones Software. The Trait-o-matic logotype incorporates text set in Futura, while headings incorporate an ornament set in Adobe Wood Type Ornaments.

Images created in-house utilized Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator; other images were obtained from:

• Load Info — loading spinner

This project makes use of a plethora of technologies, including:

• Apache 2 — HTTP server
• BLAT — extremely fast sequence alignment
• dbSNP — a local version, with only a portion of the database tables, is incorporated into Trait-o-matic’s algorithms
• MySQL 5 — open source database
• OMIM — we link to and reference this database
• PHP 5 — an essential part of our server front-end technology
• Python 2.4 — for the bulk of our internal computations in Trait-o-matic
