BIBI, a bioinformatics bacterial identification tool

J Clin Microbiol. 2003 Apr;41(4):1785-7. doi: 10.1128/JCM.41.4.1785-1787.2003.

Abstract

BIBI was designed to automate DNA sequence analysis for bacterial identification in the clinical field. BIBI relies on the use of BLAST and CLUSTAL W programs applied to different subsets of sequences extracted from GenBank. These sequences are filtered and stored in a new database, which is adapted to bacterial identification.
