Abstract: | Basic Local Alignment Search Tool, (BLAST) allows the comparison of a query sequence/s
to a database of sequences and identifies those sequences that are similar to the query above a
user-defined threshold. We have developed a user friendly web application, MULTBLAST that runs a
series of BLAST searches on a user-supplied list of proteins against one or more target protein or
nucleotide databases. The application pre-processes the data, launches each individual BLAST search
on the University of Nevada, Reno''s-TimeLogic DeCypher® system (available from
Active Motif, Inc.) and retrieves and combines all the results into a simple, easy to read output file.
The output file presents the list of the query proteins, followed by the BLAST results for the matching
sequences from each target database in consecutive columns. This format is especially useful for
either comparing the results from the different target databases, or analyzing the results while keeping
the identification of each target database separate.AvailabilityThe application is available at the URLhttp://blastpipe.biochem.unr.edu/ |
