MView (EBI)

MView (EBI) reformats BLAST, FASTA and multiple sequence alignment outputs into annotated HTML with customizable colouring to facilitate interpretation of sequence alignments and database search results.

Key Features:

• Reformatting of search outputs: Reformats results from BLAST and FASTA sequence database searches and multiple sequence alignments into presentation-ready formats.
• HTML markup and colouring: Produces optional HTML markup enabling customizable colouring and annotation of alignment outputs.
• Integration with external resources: Integrates with UniProt, InterPro, ENA and Ensembl Genomes to incorporate external annotations and datasets.
• API support: Supports RESTful and SOAP APIs for programmatic access and workflow integration.
• Enhanced visualizations: Provides enhanced visualization formats within the Job Dispatcher framework to improve interpretation of alignments and search results.
• Job Dispatcher integration: Operates within the EMBL-EBI Job Dispatcher framework and leverages its job management capabilities.

Scientific Applications:

• Comparative Genomics: Enables comparative analysis of sequences across species or strains by presenting colorized alignments.
• Protein Function Annotation: Aids protein annotation by combining alignment outputs with UniProt and InterPro information.
• Genomic Research: Facilitates visualization of complex alignment data to identify genetic variation and evolutionary relationships.

Methodology:

Reformats BLAST and FASTA search outputs and multiple sequence alignments into optional HTML markup with customizable colouring; operates within the EMBL-EBI Job Dispatcher framework and exposes RESTful and SOAP APIs.
