CUDASW++ is a bioinformatics software for Smith-Waterman protein database searches that takes advantage of the massively parallel CUDA architecture of NVIDIA Tesla GPUs to perform sequence searches 10x-50x faster than NCBI BLAST. In this algorithm, we deeply explore the SIMT (Single Instruction, Multiple Thread) and virtualized SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) abstractions to achieve fast speed. This algorithm has been fully tested on Tesla C1060, Tesla C2050, GeForce GTX 280 and GTX 295 graphics cards, and has been incorporated to NVIDIA Tesla Bio Workbench. * Operating System: Linux * Programming language: CUDA and C * Other requirements: CUDA SDK and Toolkits 2.0 or higher

A software tool that allows users to input a DNA (or RNA) sequence and obtain its inverse, complement or inverse complement. The program can also be used to display a DNA sequence and its complement in double-stranded format. Functions after users paste a DNA sequence into the upper text box, then click the appropriate button to place a manipulated form of the sequence in the lower text box.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.Documented on January 4,2023. IgBLAST was developed at NCBI to facilitate analysis of immunoglobulin V region sequences in GenBank. In addition to performing a regular BLAST search, IgBLAST has several additional functions: - Reports the germline V, D and J gene matches to the query sequence. - Annotates the immunoglobulin domains (FWR1 through FWR3). - Matches the returned hits (for databases other than germline genes) to the closest germline V genes, making it easier to identify related sequences. - Reveals the V(D)J junction details such as nucleotide homology between the ends of V(D)J segments and N nucleotide insertions. D and J gene reporting is only for nucleotide sequence search and requires a stretch of five or more nucleotide identity between the query and D or J genes. Sponsors: This resource is supported by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, a division of the U.S. National Library of Medicine.

With Trajectory Directed Ensemble Sampling (TraDES) create large ensembles of high-quality protein structures quickly, ranging from near-native to partially unfolded to intrinsically unfolded. TraDES is a system for directly controlling and sampling protein conformational space. TraDES has been previously used for measuring the vastness of protein conformational space and testing the hypothesis of a brute force solution to the protein folding problem. Over 10 Billion protein structures have been produced by TraDES software in previous distributed computing experiments. The package is comprised of binary executable programs and accessory programs and scripts as well as protein structure data files that map out protein conformational space in a probabilistic way. The main programs are: * trades - generates protein structures following the Trajectory Distribution (see below) * seq2trj - makes Trajectory Distributions from sequences for sampling * str2tr - makes Trajectory Distributions from 3D structures for sampling Trajectory Distributions - Controlling the Sampling of Conformational Space The concept of the trajectory distribution may be new to many protein scientists. A trajectory distribution is simply a map of available conformational space at an amino acid residue. NMR scientists are the primary users of the TraDES package.

http://last.cbrc.jp/

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on February 28,2023. Software tool for aligning sequences, similar to BLAST 2 sequences that colour-codes the alignments by reliability. Another useful feature of LAST is that it can compare huge (vertebrate-genome-sized) datasets. Unfortunately, this only applies to the downloadable version of LAST, not the web service. The web service can just about handle bacterial genomes, but it will take a few minutes and the output will be large. LAST can: * Handle big sequence data, e.g: ** Compare two vertebrate genomes ** Align billions of DNA reads to a genome * Indicate the reliability of each aligned column. * Use sequence quality data properly. * Compare DNA to proteins, with frameshifts. * Compare PSSMs to sequences * Calculate the likelihood of chance similarities between random sequences. LAST cannot (yet): * Do spliced alignment., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 16,2025.

This COnsensus-DEgenerate Hybrid Oligonucleotide Primer (CODEHOP) strategy has been implemented as a computer program that is accessible over the World-Wide Web and is directly linked from the BlockMaker multiple sequence alignment site for hybrid primer prediction beginning with a set of related protein sequences. This is a new primer design strategy for PCR amplification of unknown targets that are related to multiply-aligned protein sequences. Each primer consists of a short 3' degenerate core region and a longer 5' consensus clamp region. Only 3-4 highly conserved amino acid residues are necessary for design of the core, which is stabilized by the clamp during annealing to template molecules. During later rounds of amplification, the non-degenerate clamp permits stable annealing to product molecules. The researchers demonstrate the practical utility of this hybrid primer method by detection of diverse reverse transcriptase-like genes in a human genome, and by detection of C5 DNA methyltransferase homologs in various plant DNAs. In each case, amplified products were sufficiently pure to be cloned without gel fractionation. Sponsors: This work was supported in part by a grant from the M. J.
