GATA -- a Graphic Alignment Tool for Comparative Sequence Analysis
What you can do:
Conduct exhaustive sequence alignment for comparative analysis of two non-coding DNA sequences.
Highlights:
- GATA uses the NCBI-BLASTN program and extensive post-processing to identify all small sub-alignments above a low cut-off score.
- It provides researchers with a fine-grained alignment and visualization tool aptly suited for non-coding, 0-200 kb, pairwise, sequence analysis.
- It functions independent of sequence feature ordering or orientation, and readily visualizes both large and small sequence inversions, duplications, and segment shuffling.
- Since the alignment is visual and does not contain gaps, gene annotation can be added to both sequences to create a thoroughly descriptive picture of DNA conservation that is well suited for comparative sequence analysis.
