BIOCCELERATOR
[Weizmann Institute] A server with super-computing power that significantly speeds up a wide variety of homology searches in
sequence databases. Accelerated algorithms include FASTA, BLAST, Smith-Waterman, FrameSearch, Frame+, ProfileSearch, and GeneWise.

CMS Molecular Biology Resource
[San Diego Supercomputer Center] A compendium of electronic and Internet-accessible tools and resources for Molecular Biology, Biotechnology, Molecular Evolution, Biochemistry, and Biomolecular Moldeling.

Electronic PCR
[National Center for Biotechnology Information] PCR-based sequence tagged sites (STSs) have been used as landmarks for construction of various types of genomic maps. Using “electronic PCR” (e-PCR), these sites can be detected in DNA sequences, potentially allowing their map locations to be determined.

Ensembl
[EMBL, EBI, Sanger Institute] (Human Genome Server) Ensembl is a joint project between EMBL – EBI and the Sanger Institute to develop a software system which produces and maintains automatic annotation on eukaryotic genomes.

HMMER 2.1.1
[Washington Univ., St. Louis] A protein sequence analysis tool that profiles hidden Markov models (profile HMMs) that can be used to do sensitive database searching using statistical descriptions of a sequence family’s consensus.

Octopus
[Laboratoire de Min�ralogie-Cristallographie] (Patrick Durand) Octopus is an interactive program designed for the rapid interpretation of BLAST, BLAST-2,
and FASTA output text files. It provides an easy-to-use graphical
user interface for both experienced and inexperienced users with
sequence comparison analysis based on the widely-used BLAST series of softwares.

PDB-ISL Server
The PDB-ISL (PDBintermediate Sequence Library) is a sensitive and fast search procedure. It is useful for finding sequences in the PDB
protein structure database that are homologous to a sequence of unknown structure. PSI-BLAST, Smith Waterman, and FASTA searches are provided.
[more info][14066]
PeptideSearch
[EMBL Protein & Peptide Group] A tool for protein database searching by mass spectrometric data, such as peptide mass maps or partial amino acid sequences.
[more info][10466]
Protein Information Resource
[National Biomedical Research Foundation] (PIR) Collects, organizes, and distributes the International Protein Sequence Database.
[more info][12681]
SCANPS
[EBI] A local alignment method to search protein sequence databases with a query sequence or multiple alignment, and also allows all pairwise comparisons to be made between a set of sequences and can estimate the statistical significance of the alignments.
[more info][11174]
Search and Analysis
[DDBJ] A short list of links to common DNA and protein sequence analysis tools.
[more info][12147]
SWISS-PROT and TrEMBL
[ExPASy] SWISS-PROT is a curated protein sequence database which strives to provide a high level of annotations (such as the description of the function of a protein, its domain structure, post-translational modifications, variants, etc.), a minimal level of redundancy, and high level of integration with other databases. TrEMBL is a computer-annotated supplement of SWISS-PROT that contains all the translations of EMBL nucleotide sequence entries not yet integrated in SWISS-PROT.

SWsrch
[DISC] Performs searches on sequences in protein and DNA databases for similarity to the query sequence, queries can include stop codons and IUPAC ambiguity codes.
