BLASTTool Content

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/BLAST/

Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) finds regions of local similarity between sequences. The program compares nucleotide or protein sequences to sequence databases and calculates the statistical significance of matches. BLAST can be used to infer functional and evolutionary relationships between sequences as well as help identify members of gene families.

FeatureExtractTool Content

The FeatureExtract server extracts sequence and feature annotations, such as intron/exon structure, from GenBank entries and other GenBank format files.

PubCrawlerTool Content

http://pubcrawler.gen.tcd.ie/

It goes to the library. You go to the pub; receive email alerts for current contents of PubMed and GenBank; e.g. use accession number of htg record as query to receive sequence updates (as the version number changes).

RSATTool Content

http://rsat.ccb.sickkids.ca/

Regulatory Sequence Analysis Tools (RSAT) detects regulatory signals in non-coding sequences; tools include sequence retrieval, pattern discovery, pattern matching, genome-scale pattern matching, feature-map drawing, random sequence generation and other utilities. Tools may be accessed separately or connected to other tools. As well, the tools are available as web services for integration into programmatic work flows. New tools incorporated include an automated sequence retrieval from EnsEMBL, motif comparison and motif quality tools, and the capacity to process ChIP-sequence data.

Software.ncrna.orgTool Content

http://software.ncrna.org

A suite of tools for analyzing non-coding RNA sequences on the basis of their secondary structures. Tools include those for structural multiple sequence alignments, structural pairwise sequence alignments and structural motif finding.
