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.

REST API The Representational State Transfer (REST) sample clients are provided for a number of programming languages.

www.animalgenome.org - The Blast Extension and Assembly Program (BEAP) is a computer program that uses a short starting DNA fragment, often a EST or partial gene segment, as "primer", to recursively blast nucleotide databases in an attempt to obtain all sequences that...
