Portions of this project were coded by hand on a PowerBook G4 and a MacBook using TextWrangler from Bare Bones Software. The Trait-o-matic logotype incorporates text set in Futura, while headings incorporate an ornament set in Adobe Wood Type Ornaments.

Images created in-house utilized Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator; other images were obtained from:

• Load Info — loading spinner

This project makes use of a plethora of technologies, including:

• Apache 2 — HTTP server
• dbSNP — a local version, with only a portion of the database tables, is a part of Trait-o-matic’s data sources
• MySQL 5 — open source database
• PHP 5 — an essential part of our server front-end technology
• CodeIgniter 1.7 — open source PHP application framework
• Python 2.5 — for the bulk of our internal computation in Trait-o-matic
• SQLite 3 — public domain self-contained SQL database, for internal computation
