Sequence Analysis

Genomic and proteomic sequences, alignment, and phylogenetics

Gain deeper understanding of sequence features, functions, and evolution by performing analyses on nucleotide or amino acid sequences. Compare sequences using pairwise or multiple sequence alignment methods. Calculate sequence properties and statistics to gain more insight on physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of your data. Perform BLAST searches against known sequences in online or local databases. Determine the evolutionary relationships between organisms by building phylogenetic trees from pairwise distances of sequences.
