BLAT 36 – Rapid mRNA/DNA & Cross-species Protein Alignments

BLAT 36

:: DESCRIPTION

BLAT (BLAST -like alignment tool) is a bioinformatics software a tool which performs rapid mRNA/DNA and cross-species protein alignments. BLAT is more accurate and 500 times faster than popular existing tools for mRNA/DNA alignments and 50 times faster for protein alignments at sensitivity settings typically used when comparing vertebrate sequences.

CAST 1.2.2 – Compression-accelerated BLAST and BLAT

CAST 1.2.2

:: DESCRIPTION

CAST is a set of tools that compress data in a way that allows direct computation on the compressed data. Compression-accelerated BLAST (CaBLAST) and Compression-accelerated BLAT (CaBLAT) are two prototype implementations of alignment and sequence search algorithms that apply “compressive genomics” : i.e., they exploit redundancy in genomic data sets by compressing data in a way that allows direct computation on the compressed data.

SCUBAT – Scaffolding Contigs using BLAT and Transcripts

SCUBAT

:: DESCRIPTION

SCUBAT is a perl script uses any set of transcripts to identify cases where a transcript is split over multiple genome fragments and attempts to use this information to scaffold the genome.
