www.arabidopsis.org - BLAST stands for Basic Local Alignment Search Tool and was developed by Altschul et al. (1990) and significantly improved by Altschul et al. (1997). It is a very fast search algorithm that is used to separately search protein or DNA...
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...
The BLAST+ 5 (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) update has introduced several key enhancements aimed at improving performance, user experience, and compatibility with evolving genomic data standards. Here are the major updates:
www.encodeproject.org - The ENCODE project uses Reference Genomes from NCBI or UCSC to provide a consistent framework for mapping high-throughput sequencing data. In general, ENCODE data are mapped consistently to 2 human (GRCH38, hg19) and 2 mouse...
The interaction between proteins and other molecules is fundamental to all biological functions. In this section we include tools that can assist in prediction of interaction sites on protein surface and tools for predicting the structure of the...
How to format the database for BLAST, run the command, view the output file, and use BioPerl and Perl to parse the output. By David Francis, Ohio State University. Delivered live at the Tomato Disease Workshop 2010. For more information, please...
brig.sourceforge.net - BRIG is a free cross-platform (Windows/Mac/Unix) application that can display circular comparisons between a large number of genomes, with a focus on handling genome assembly data. The application is available...
