Korilog is announcing a new version of its KoriBlast software, adapted for using a calculation grid.

Aimed at biologists and bioanalysts, KoriBlast facilitates and accelerates sequence bank exploration. Offering a user-friendly graphic interface, closely combining methods of exploration, analysis, interrogation and viewing of sequence banks and associated data, KoriBlast makes access to these resources fully transparent, enabling scientists to focus on their analyses.

A partnership with the research facility INRIA Rennes - Bretagne Atlantique and the University Rennes I resulted in a system that enables the biologist to exploit a calculation grid to accelerate searches in sequence banks.

Installed on the bioinformatics services platform www.genouest.org , KoriBlast allows OUEST-genopole® users to access to the numerous sequence banks installed and regularly updated on the platform, by means of a proprietary calculation grid.

Laboratories connected to OUEST-genopole® with KoriBlast licenses can obtain a free update of KoriBlast from Korilog if they wish to use the genouest.org calculation grid.

Public research laboratories external to OUEST genopole® that have a BLAST system installed on a calculation grid or cluster can obtain KoriBlast with this new feature.
