Apollo

From GMOD

The Apollo genome editor is a Java-based application for browsing and annotating genomic sequences. There are currently two branches of Apollo, one primarily used for genome browsing and maintained at Ensembl, and the other primarily used for genome annotation and maintained at the Berkeley Bioinformatics and Ontologies Project. The latter is part of the GMOD project.
