Use a unified interface to four Blast systems Unlike other Blast servers available on the Internet, each offering a different interface, KoriBlast offers a single graphical interface to schedule and launch sequence comparisons with Blast systems available online and locally. It is thus very easy to schedule Blast searches using the NCBI Blast server, the EBI Wu-Blast server, a WwwBlast server (1) or a Local Blast (2).
(1) you probably have a server like this in your laboratory. If this is the case, Koriblast can use it directly.
(2) KoriBlast comes with NCBI Blast software: You can therefore use Blast on your computer with your personal sequence databases and/or a local copy of public sequence databases (SwissProt, Genbank, etc.) as required.
Analyze all data visually Instead of studying a long text report, KoriBlast features a single analysis window integrating a set of visualization interfaces adapted to exploring Blast search results. Very simple to learn and use, these interfaces are suitable for rapidly examining Blast hit tables, sequence alignments (by pairs and in multiples), and annotations presented in context on databases sequences or even for locating potentially functional regions.
In the context of a taxonomic survey, KoriBlast also features an interactive taxonomic viewer.
When examining the results of Blast searches, KoriBlast enables you to select all or part of databases sequences, to schedule a new Blast search immediately. You may also retrieve these sequences as Fasta files or view their complete file in your web browser.
Discover information only relevant to your research In order to locate pertinent information, you may query all the data available in KoriBlast. This enables quick and easy identification of the hits meeting the criteria you have determined within a set of Blast search results. These criteria apply to values calculated by Blast (scores, sequence similarities, alignment coordinates, etc.) and to data from databases (sequence descriptions, annotations and taxonomic data).
