NCBIBLAST+ 2.14.1 now available with improved documentation, faster and more reliable database downloads, and some bug fixes.

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.

NCBI BLAST have added new columns to the Descriptions Table for web BLAST output.

satsuma.sourceforge.net - Satsuma is a whole-genome synteny alignment program. It takes two genomes, computes alignments, and then keeps only the parts that are orthologous, i.e. following the conserved order and orientation of features, such as protein coding genes,...

blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov - ElasticBLAST is a new way to BLAST large numbers of queries, faster and on the cloud. Here are the top three reasons you should use ElasticBLAST: 1. ElasticBLAST can handle much LARGER queries!  ElasticBLAST can search query...

github.com - Kalign is a fast multiple sequence alignment program for biological sequences. Align sequences and output the alignment in MSF format: kalign -i BB11001.tfa -f msf -o out.msf Align sequences and output the alignment in clustal format: kalign...

mulan.dcode.org - Mulan performs multiple (2 or more) sequence alignments with an efficient and rapid "full local" alignment strategy that ensures a recapitulation of evolutionary sequence rearrangements (such as inversions and reshuffling) in any of the species. It...

We have made changes the nr version 5 database, (nr_v5), to facilitate better search results and improved performance by reducing the number of redundant titles in the nr_v5 database used by webBLAST, which is also available for BLAST+ users.

https://plast.inria.fr/ - PLAST is a fast, accurate and NGS scalable bank-to-bank sequence similarity search tool providing significant accelerations of seeds-based heuristic comparison methods, such as the Blast suite of algorithms. Relying on unique software architecture,...
