Removing contaminated sequences using NCBI quality assurance tools

tools.bat.infspire.org - Circoletto, an online visualization tool based on Circos, which provides a fast, aesthetically pleasing and informative overview of sequence similarity search results. Online version and downloadable software package for offline use (source code in...

github.com - TwinBLAST is a web-based tool for viewing 2 BLAST reports simultaneouslyside-by-side. It uses ExtJS (www.sencha.com/products/extjs/) to provide 2independently scrollable panels. BioPerl (www.bioperl.org) is used to indexraw BLAST reports and...

Genome sequencing projects have enormous potential for benefiting human endeavors. However, just as acquiring a language's vocabulary does not enable one to speak it, databases that list the amino acid composition of proteins do not directly tell us...

The BLAST+ 5 (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) update has introduced several key enhancements aimed at improving performance, user experience, and compatibility with evolving genomic data standards. Here are the major updates:

github.com - pyGenomeTracks aims to produce high-quality genome browser tracks that are highly customizable. Currently, it is possible to plot: bigwig bed (many options) bedgraph links (represented as arcs) Hi-C matrices (if HiCExplorer is...

We demonstrate the BLAST/BLAT tool in Ensembl. Search for a sequence in Ensembl, and identify hits to the genome, or to genes, with this tool.

brig.sourceforge.net - BRIG is a free cross-platform (Windows/Mac/Unix) application that can display circular comparisons between a large number of genomes, with a focus on handling genome assembly data. The application is available at:...

Suppose we wanted to do something with all this BLAST output. Generally, that’s the case - you want to retrieve all matches, or do a reciprocal BLAST, or something. As with most programs that run on UNIX, the text output is in some specific...

The Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) is a powerful bioinformatics program used to compare an input sequence (such as DNA, RNA, or protein sequences) against a database of sequences to find regions of similarity.
