YASS -- enhancing the sensitivity of DNA similarity search
What you can do:
Perform DNA local alignment of genomic sequences in FASTA or plain format.
Highlights:
- YASS is a DNA local alignment tool based on an efficient and sensitive filtering algorithm.
- It applies transition-constrained seeds to specify the most probable conserved motifs between homologous sequences, combined with a flexible hit criterion used to identify groups of seeds that are likely to exhibit significant alignments.
- A web interface is available to upload input sequences in FASTA format, query the program and visualize the results obtained in several forms (dot-plot, tabular output and others).
- A standalone version is available for download from the web page.
