Genome Database using Slingshot!




Thanks the new record component and some fixed slider functionality, I was able to create a process for recording Galapagos iterations to a MySQL database via the Slingshot! plug-in...


The process for recording is fairly straight forward...

Step 1: Use the 'record' component to track changing sliders and fitness values.
Step 2: Run Galapagos
Step 3: Insert the recorded fitness and gene values into the database.
Step 4: Query the database to view and sort the genomes.

Quite handy for revisiting all iterations and comparing different ranges of fitness...
