	<title><![CDATA[Basics of BLAST Programs !]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>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. Developed by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), BLAST is widely used for identifying species, finding functional and evolutionary relationships between sequences, and predicting the function of novel sequences.</p><p>Key Features of BLAST:<br />1. Sequence Comparison: BLAST searches for local alignments between the query sequence and sequences in a database. It identifies regions of similarity, which can help infer functional and evolutionary relationships.</p><p>2. Speed and Efficiency: BLAST uses heuristic algorithms, making it faster than exhaustive search methods, suitable for large-scale database searches.</p><p>3. Versatility: There are several versions of BLAST for different types of sequence comparisons:<br /> - blastn: Compares a nucleotide query sequence against a nucleotide sequence database.<br /> - blastp: Compares a protein query sequence against a protein sequence database.<br /> - blastx: Compares a nucleotide query sequence translated in all reading frames against a protein sequence database.<br /> - tblastn: Compares a protein query sequence against a nucleotide sequence database translated in all reading frames.<br /> - tblastx: Compares the six-frame translations of a nucleotide query sequence against the six-frame translations of a nucleotide sequence database.</p><p>4. Scoring and E-value: BLAST results are scored based on the quality and length of the alignments. The E-value (expect value) indicates the number of alignments one can expect to find by chance, with lower E-values representing more significant matches.</p><p>5. Output Formats: BLAST provides results in various formats, including plain text, HTML, XML, and JSON, making it adaptable for different types of analyses and integrations with other tools.</p><p>Applications of BLAST:<br />- Genomic Research: Identifying genes, understanding genetic diversity, and mapping genome sequences.<br />- Protein Function Prediction: Inferring the function of unknown proteins by comparing them to known protein sequences.<br />- Evolutionary Studies: Exploring evolutionary relationships between organisms by comparing their genetic material.<br />- Medical Research: Identifying pathogens, understanding disease mechanisms, and developing treatments by comparing sequences of interest.</p><p>Overall, BLAST is an essential tool in bioinformatics, offering a reliable and efficient way to analyze and interpret biological sequence data.</p>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>The Charm City Circleator--or Circleator for short--is a Perl-based visualization tool developed at the&nbsp;<a href="http://igs.umaryland.edu/">Institute for Genome Sciences</a>&nbsp;in the University of Maryland's School of Medicine. Circleator produces circular plots of genome-associated data, like this one:</p>
<p><a href="https://camo.githubusercontent.com/0b414f050a7dcb672386932ee0cd83e5f42d2271/687474703a2f2f6a6f6e617468616e63726162747265652e6769746875622e696f2f436972636c6561746f722f696d616765732f43503030323732352d322d3432302e706e673f7261773d74727565" target="_blank"><img src="https://camo.githubusercontent.com/0b414f050a7dcb672386932ee0cd83e5f42d2271/687474703a2f2f6a6f6e617468616e63726162747265652e6769746875622e696f2f436972636c6561746f722f696d616765732f43503030323732352d322d3432302e706e673f7261773d74727565" alt="Sample Circleator image" title="Sample Circleator Image" style="border: 0px;"></a></p>
<p>Common uses of the tool include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Displaying the sequence and/or genes in a&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank/">GenBank</a>&nbsp;flat file.</li>
<li>Highlighting differences and/or similarities in gene content between related organisms.</li>
<li>Comparing SNPs and indels between closely-related strains or serovars.</li>
<li>Comparing gene expression values across multiple samples or timepoints.</li>
<li>Visualizing coverage plots of RNA-Seq read alignments.</li>
</ul>
<h3><a href="https://github.com/jonathancrabtree/Circleator#key-features"></a>Key Features</h3>
<p>Circleator...</p>
<ul>
<li>Builds on&nbsp;<a href="http://www.bioperl.org/">BioPerl</a>&nbsp;and the input file formats that it supports, including:
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank/">GenBank</a>&nbsp;flat files, GFF, FASTA</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Accepts a number of other commonly-used datatypes and file formats:
<ul>
<li><a href="http://bsr.igs.umaryland.edu/">BSR</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="http://tandem.bu.edu/trf/trf.html">TRF</a>&nbsp;output,&nbsp;<a href="http://samtools.sourceforge.net/">SAM/BAM</a>&nbsp;files,&nbsp;<a href="http://vcftools.sourceforge.net/">VCF</a>-encoded SNPs, tab-delimited files</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Outputs publication-ready figures in the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/">SVG</a>&nbsp;(Scalable Vector Graphics) format.</li>
<li>Requires only a single configuration file whose layout mirrors that of the figure itself.
<ul>
<li>Predefined configuration files and "track" types are supplied for common datasets.</li>
<li>Advanced features allow limited analyses to be performed as a figure is drawn.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Includes an extensive set of regression tests.</li>
<li>Offers a prototype web-based GUI (under the "Ringmaster" project.)</li>
