Mascot

Mascot is a powerful search engine which uses mass spectrometry data to identify proteins from primary sequence databases.

BLAST

The Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) finds regions of local similarity between sequences. The program compares nucleotide or protein sequences to sequence databases and calculates the statistical significance of matches. BLAST can be used to infer functional and evolutionary relationships between sequences as well as help identify members of gene families.

EMBOSS

EMBOSS is "The European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite". EMBOSS is a free Open Source software analysis package specially developed for the needs of the molecular biology (e.g. EMBnet) user community.

SMS2

The Sequence Manipulation Suite is a collection of JavaScript programs for generating, formatting, and analyzing short DNA and protein sequences. It is commonly used by molecular biologists, for teaching, and for program and algorithm testing.

SeWeR

SeWeR is an acronym, stands for SEquence analysis using WEb Resources. For a refined mind, SeWeR is an integrated portal to common web-based services in bioinformatics.

Improbizer

Improbizer searches for motifs in DNA or RNA sequences that occur with improbable frequency (to be just chance) using a variation of the expectation maximization (EM) algorithm.

Spectrum Mill MS Proteomics Workbench

Mass spectrometry has become a core technology for proteomics research, but without modern tools, there are often bottlenecks in data interpretation and review. The Agilent Spectrum Mill MS Proteomics Workbench is a comprehensive suite of software tools designed to facilitate high-throughput proteomics experiments using mass spectrometry.
