biojs-io-blast

biojs-io-blast parses BLAST output files and converts them into structured data to enable analysis and visualization of sequence alignments and homology relationships.

Key Features:

• Data Parsing: Parses BLAST output files and transforms raw results into structured formats suitable for downstream analysis.
• Output Format Compatibility: Handles diverse BLAST output formats and maintains compatibility across BLAST versions.
• Visualization Data Preparation: Produces structured representations of alignments, scores, conserved regions, and homology relationships for visualization and analysis.

Scientific Applications:

• Sequence Analysis: Visualizes alignment scores and conserved regions to assess sequence similarity across organisms.
• Functional Annotation: Highlights functional domains and motifs identified through homology searches to support sequence annotation.
• Comparative Genomics: Facilitates comparison of genomic sequences across species to identify orthologous genes and inform evolutionary studies.

Methodology:

Uses a modular parsing approach to handle diverse BLAST output formats and transform raw BLAST results into structured data.
