The system architecture and pipeline of IMGD. (A) Each rectangular box shows three layers. In the standardized data warehouse, diverse databases are placed. The middleware platform manages not only BLAST, tRNAScan-SE, and mFold but also six phylogenetic tools managed by Phyloviewer (http://www.phyloviewer.org/). The web-based user interface supports browsing all information deposited in IMGD. (B) The pipeline for archiving hexapod mitochondrial sequences and calculating their properties was presented as a flowchart diagram.
