Abstract |
Many biologists are familiar with BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool). A major difficulty with BLAST is searching a massive number of queries without depending on professional help with scripting languages. Hence, we describe the development of an interface for BLAST to perform sequence search for a set of query sequences at one instance. This software interface runs on all Windows-based personal computers (PCs) and can be widely used by biologists who are not familiar with professional informatics command languages and yet want to perform massive sequence analysis.
