Insignia -- DNA signature search server

URL:

http://insignia.cbcb.umd.edu/

What you can do:

Search for distinct nucleotide sequences that distinguish microbial organisms from others.

Highlights:

Insignia is a web server that identifies an exhaustive set of accurate DNA signatures for any set of target genomes, and screens these signatures against a comprehensive background that includes all sequenced bacteria and viruses, the human genome, and many other animals and plants.
Identified signatures may be browsed by genomic location or proximal genes, filtered by composition, viewed in a genome browser or directly downloaded.
Integrated PCR primer design is also provided for each signature.
The source code for the computational pipeline is freely available.
