Strand Life Sciences announces the release of Strand NGS v3.1 at ASHG 2017

github.com - proActiv is an R package that estimates promoter activity from RNA-Seq data. proActiv uses aligned reads and genome annotations as input, and provides absolute and relative promoter activity as output. The package can be used to identify active...

Strand NGS is a biologist friendly NGS analysis tool that allows biologists to analyze their data using a very intuitive workflow for the analysis and visualization of RNA-Seq data. This webinar will give an overview of the workflow which includes...

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.

Genome Workbench 2.10.7 is here! New features include added support for local custom BLAST databases and improvements to Tree View.

github.com - DIAMOND is a sequence aligner for protein and translated DNA searches and functions as a drop-in replacement for the NCBI BLAST software tools. It is suitable for protein-protein search as well as DNA-protein search on short reads and longer...

The main advance is the ability to provide usage reports to NCBI to help us improve BLAST.

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.
