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...

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.

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...

github.com - FastANI is developed for fast alignment-free computation of whole-genome Average Nucleotide Identity (ANI). ANI is defined as mean nucleotide identity of orthologous gene pairs shared between two microbial genomes. FastANI supports pairwise...

www.softberry.com - FGENESH is the fastest (50-100 times faster than GenScan) and most accurate gene finder available - see the figure and the table below. In recent rice genome sequencing projects, it was cited "the most successful (gene finding) program (Yu et...
