OntoBlast function -- from sequence similarities directly to potential functional annotations by ontology terms
What you can do:
Find information about potential functions of proteins.
Highlights:
- OntoBlast allows one to find information about potential functions of proteins by presenting a weighted list of ontology entries associated with similar sequences from completely sequenced genomes identified in a BLAST search.
- It combines, in a single analysis step, the search for sequence similarities in several species with the association of information stored in ontologies.
- From each identified ontology term a list of genes, which share the functional annotation, can be retrieved.
- The OntoBlast function is an integral part of the x91Ontologies TO GenomeMatrixx92 tool which provides an alternative entry point from ontology terms to the Genomex96Matrix database.
