AAstretch

AAstretch

AAstretch is a tool to extract pure and impure poly-residue stretches, such as position, flanking regions, annotations, GO terms, and various other information. The AAstretch package includes AAprepare tool, which links to the genomic EnsEMBL database and utilizes the BioMart services and prepares gene sets for AAstretch. The website contains files from different kingdoms. The CDS function of the AAstretch tool can analyze coding regions that AAexplore tool can visualize.
