Paper Abstract:
|
GenBank is a public database of nucleotide sequences built by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) that provide mechanisms for accessing and processing stored information. A way to access information on GenBank is BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) a program to search for local similarity between sequences. GenBank information can be accessed through NCBI website or locally. NCBI BLAST website is an easy way to find sequences, but imposes some limitations in the parameterization of the query, and batch searches in large-scale are not available. In order to fill this gap, this paper will introduce the VNBlast tool. VNBlast is a user-friendly web application based on NCBI NetBlast, which offers a substantial number of parameters for search and alignment of sequences directly on GenBank, avoiding the need of manual download of datasets and always presenting as result updated information. |
