easySEARCH: A user-friendly bioinformatics program that enables BLAST searching with a massive number of query sequences

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...

Sumario: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. easySEARCH is freely available as a standalone program.
