Description

The database allows the user to retrieve related sequences based on pre-computed BLAST results. Researchers are able to rapidly search and obtain data at a glance with the user-friendly search output page. The search returns proteins similar to the queried protein, significantly faster than running BLAST. The database output provides the related protein accession number, name, length, and organism. In addition, the user can use E-value cut-off to display results, the query sequence can be easily displayed and hidden, selected results can be saved on the user’s local computer in table or FASTA format. The database is linked such that BLAST, FASTA, pattern match against the PROSITE database, multiple alignment and domain display can be performed with a single mouse click. The alignment column allows the user to see the blast results in graphical format as well as select individual sequence pairings against the query sequence. Researcher can also choose to perform sequence alignment between several of the related sequences.

Applications

Applications: Database is useful for protein sequence searching and analysis.

Advantages:
  • Faster than a traditional blast search
  • Search results page extremely user friendly
  • Allows greater flexibility for outputs and analysis

Advantages

Stage of Development

Stage of Development: The database software is fully operational and available for licensing.
