NCBI new updates !

www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov - NCBI Prokaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline is designed to annotate bacterial and archaeal genomes (chromosomes and plasmids). Genome annotation is a multi-level process that includes prediction of protein-coding genes, as well as other functional...

As announced in a previous post, we offer a Docker version of NCBI BLAST+ that you can use locally or on the Google Cloud where we have pre-loaded BLAST databases. We are happy to announce that the same functionality is now available on the...

If you have a later version than 2.6 you'll need to set 2.6 as the default Python.

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.
