html4blast
html4blast generates HTML reports summarizing BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) results to present sequence alignment outputs for downstream analyses.
Key Features:
- HTML report generation: Produces comprehensive HTML reports from BLAST results that summarize alignments and associated metadata.
- Galaxy integration: Executes tools and workflows using the Galaxy platform as the execution engine.
- API and Bioblend communication: Invokes Galaxy tools and workflows via the Galaxy API or the Bioblend library.
- Execution on Institut Pasteur infrastructure: Runs jobs using Institut Pasteur cluster resources and available storage.
Scientific Applications:
- Metagenomic data analysis: Provides BLAST-derived reports for metagenomics pipelines and services such as MetaGenSense.
- Phylogenetic analyses: Supplies detailed BLAST outputs to support sequence alignments and tools like NGphylogeny.fr for phylogenetic studies.
Methodology:
Generates HTML from BLAST results, executes tools and workflows on the Galaxy platform via the Galaxy API or Bioblend, and runs jobs on Institut Pasteur cluster and storage resources.
