Abstract

One of the most important methods which specifies the biological functionalities of a gene is by running a sequencing or similarity search on the existing protein and DNA sequence databases. The most famous tool for performing nucleotide sequencing is the NCBI’s Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) or its different various. This web based tool provides an alternative to the present BLAST tool, providing a faster access to the analytics of the protein structure with a more interactive interface. The tool also provides a user friendly and hassle free access with sorted and visually informative analytics.
