ALLGEN server provides various tools for multiple sequence alignments, clustering, and assembly of ESTs. It also includes search tools for transcription factor binding sites (TFBS), repeated patterns, and transposons.
The CHAOS/DIALIGN WWW server is a multiple sequence alignment site which passes input sequences through CHAOS to create a list of local similarites. These similarities serve as anchor points, allowing DIALIGN to conduct global alignments faster. ABC can then be used for the interactive visualization of the alignment.
Multiple alignment program which assembles a global sequence alignment from gap-free local pairwise alignments. This method could be especially useful when comparing large sequences that have only local similarities.
The LAGAN alignment toolkit consists of components: CHAOS (a pairwise local aligner optimized for non-coding, and other poorly conserved regions of the genome.), LAGAN (a highly parametrizable pairwise global alignment program), Multi-LAGAN , and Shuffle-LAGAN (both variations of LAGAN).
Mulan is a multiple sequence alignment tool. It employs novel algorithms such as TBA and multiTF to respectively perform alignments and discover transcription factor binding sites. Results can be viewed as dot-plots of individual sequence alignments, or dynamically browsed with the ability to zoom in from sequence conservation profiles down to the level of the individual characters of the sequence alignment.
Using current releases of genomic sequence data, ProbeLynx allows users to assess the specificity of probe sequences used for microarray experiments. The user provides probe sequences in FASTA or tab-delimited format, and ProbeLynx reports specificity information for each probe and functional annotations from Ensembl or TIGR for each probe target hit.
VISTA is a comprehensive suite of programs and databases for comparative analysis of genomic sequences. There are two ways of using VISTA - you can submit your own sequences and alignments for analysis (VISTA servers) or examine pre-computed whole-genome alignments of different species.
