Welcome to the MochiView website!

What is MochiView?

MochiView is Java software that integrates browsing of genomic sequences, features, and data with DNA motif visualization and analysis.  (A publication describing the software is in the works… a link will be posted here when it is available.)

How do I get started?

You can get up and running in just two easy steps.  Listed before each step is a link to the relevant section of the website (also found on the left side of each page).  You can return to this page at any time by clicking the [GETTING STARTED] link.

[SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS] Check this link to make sure that your computer can run MochiView.  Most importantly, follow the instructions to make sure that your Java version is recent enough to run the software.

[SOFTWARE & TUTORIAL DOWNLOAD] This section provides the necessary links to download the software and manual.  I strongly recommended that new users download the tutorial database and manual and use the tutorial to become familiar with the software.

What are those other links?

Here is an overview of the contents of the other sections of the website.

[NEWS] Contains information about software and website content updates.

[MOTIF LIBRARY DOWNLOADS] Contains links to several motif libraries formatted for import into MochiView.
