Kaling API (EBI)

Kaling API (EBI) performs multiple sequence alignment of DNA and protein sequences to provide fast, memory-efficient, and accurate alignments for genomic analyses.

Key Features:

• Speed and Efficiency: Optimizes runtime and memory usage to handle large sequence datasets.
• High Accuracy: Produces alignment accuracy comparable to leading methods for protein sequences and generally higher precision for nucleotide sequences.
• Support for Nucleotide and Protein Alignment: Supports alignment of both DNA (nucleotide) and protein sequences.
• Integration of Sequence Annotation: Incorporates external sequence annotations into the alignment process to improve alignment precision.

Scientific Applications:

• Comparative Genomics: Enables large-scale multiple alignments for comparative analyses across genomes.
• Evolutionary Studies: Supports inference of genetic relationships and evolutionary patterns through accurate alignments.
• Functional Annotation Projects: Facilitates detection of conserved features and sequence variations to aid functional annotation.

Methodology:

Implements algorithms that optimize computational resources (runtime and memory) and integrates external sequence annotations to enhance alignment accuracy.
