 :: Announcements ::

arrowView the latest GNARE newsletter.
GNARE (GeNome Analysis and Research Environment) is a bioinformatics server that supports both automated and interactive analysis of user-submitted genomes and metagenomes. It allows scientific groups and individual users to analyze genomic data using an integrated and automated bioinformatics environment based on advanced computational technologies and Grid resources.

arrow Submit your genome to GNARE! (Don't forget to register first)

arrow View sample user genomes analyzed by GNARE, no registration required.

arrow We are pleased to announce the completion of a successful user genome annotation workshop using GNARE! Access the online tutorial here.

PUMA2 tools We have developed tools for high-resolution analysis of Protein families:

Chisel -- an algorithm and a library for annotation and identification of evolutionary versions of enzymes

PhyloBlocks -- identification of conserved domains and motifs using Blocks in a context of a phylogenetic tree

BloBlast -- PhyloBlocks enchanced Blast

SVMMER -- SVM-based protein identification
