The BLAST+ 2.10.0 release is now available from at FTP site. The new version offers the following improvements:

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.

http://rast.nmpdr.org/ - The RAST (Rapid Annotation using Subsystem Technology) annotation engine was built in 2008 to annotate bacterial and archaeal genomes. It works by offering a standard software pipeline for identifying genomic features (i.e., protein-encoding genes...

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

www.yandell-lab.org - MAKER is a portable and easily configurable genome annotation pipeline.Its purpose is to allow smaller eukaryotic and prokaryotic genome projects to independently annotate their genomes and to create genome databases. MAKER identifies repeats,...

www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov - NCBI Remap. This tool is conceptually similar to liftOver in that in manages conversions between a pair of genome assemblies but it uses different methods to achieve these mappings. It is also available through a simple web interface or you can use...

http://genemania.org/ - Faster, more accurate algorithms function prediction "GeneMANIA (Multiple Association Network Integration Algorithm)" have however been developed in recent years and are publicly available on the web, indicating the future direction of function...

genometools.org - The AnnotationSketch module is a versatile and efficient C-based drawing library for GFF3-compatible genomic annotations. It is included in the GenomeTools distribution. Additionally, bindings to...

www.biostars.org - MAKER is a great tool for annotating a reference genome using empirical and ab initiogene predictions. GMOD, the umbrella organization that includes MAKER, has some nice tutorials online for running MAKER. However, these were quite...

https://dfast.nig.ac.jp/ - We developed a prokaryotic genome annotation pipeline, DFAST, that also supports genome submission to public sequence databases. DFAST was originally started as an on-line annotation server, and to date, over 7,000 jobs have been processed since its...
