Multiple whole genome alignments and novel biomedical applications at the VISTA portal

Nucleic Acids Res. 2007 Jul;35(Web Server issue):W669-74. doi: 10.1093/nar/gkm279. Epub 2007 May 8.

Abstract

The VISTA portal for comparative genomics is designed to give biomedical scientists a unified set of tools to lead them from the raw DNA sequences through the alignment and annotation to the visualization of the results. The VISTA portal also hosts the alignments of a number of genomes computed by our group, allowing users to study the regions of their interest without having to manually download the individual sequences. Here we describe various algorithmic and functional improvements implemented in the VISTA portal over the last 2 years. The VISTA Portal is accessible at http://genome.lbl.gov/vista.
