Project description
ProTag is a SmartTag and Add-In solution for the Microsoft Office applications Word, Excel and PowerPoint. It recognizes the names and (database) identifiers of proteins within free text and offers the user to perform different actions on the protein, e.g. to show all synonyms (see below). ProTag was implemented at the LMU and is freely available for non-commercial use. It is licensed under the GNU GPL. For commercial use please contact us.
Features
ProTag offers the following features:
- Recognize protein names and database identifiers within Office documents
- Replace database identifiers by protein names and vice versa
- Get all synonyms for a protein
- Navigate to online databases such as Swiss-Prot directly from within Office
- Perform manual searches within Office
- Use the ProTag functions within VBA macros or Excel formulas
- Run ProTag as a standalone application, e.g. for the use with Adobe Acrobat Reader
- Propose new identifiers and synonyms or curate the synonym lists
- Extend ProTag with additional web services or actions
