Bioinformatics Links Directory : Sequence Retrieval

These resources include links to protein sequence retrieval tools including BLAST, EMBOSS, Entrez, and SRS.

PISCES - (Found July 8, 2008 )

PISCES (Protein Sequence Culling Server) allows the user to weed out sequences from a set in order to obtain a subset of relatively high PDB structure quality andor mutual sequence identity.

UniqueProt - (Found July 8, 2008 )

UniqueProt creates representative protein sequence sets by eliminating sequence redundancy based on sequence similiarity. This tool needs to be downloaded and run locally on your own machine.

BLAST2SRS - (Found July 8, 2008 )

BLAST2SRS (Sequence Retrieval System) is a tool to retrieve protein sequences using similarity (BLAST) and keyword searches.

NLProt - (Found July 8, 2008 )

NLProt is a tool for finding protein names in natural language text. This data-mining method is a useful approach for extracting protein UniprotIDs from research articles for the construction of custom datasets andor databases.
