Web Tools

BLAST:

• NCBI

Pairwise and Multiple Alignment - Aligns multiple sequences of the same type, both protein, and nucleic acids:

• TCoffee
• EMBL

Database Searching - Resources that allow users to find sequences based on text or accession number queries:

• NCBI Entrez
• ENSEMBL
• UCSC Genome BioInformatics

Editing and Publishing - Resources to allow users to modify sequence files for publication and record keeping:

Phylogeny/Parsimony - Resources to allow the generation trees that provide evolutionary relationship between groups of similar sequences and determine the most probable path of evolution:

Fragment Assembly - Resources to permit users to assemble sequencing projects, excepts sequences, assemble the contigs, and possibly generate a consensus sequence:
