What is MultiGeneBlast?

MultiGeneBlast

MultiGeneBlast is a super handy tool that helps scientists find similar genes in groups, known as multigene modules. Think of it as a way to spot old friends in a crowd!

What Does MultiGeneBlast Do?

This software works by taking protein entries from the NCBI GenBank database and rearranging their FASTA headers. It's like organizing your closet so you can find your favorite shirt quickly!

Why Use MultiGeneBlast?

The main goal of MultiGeneBlast is to help you spot all the similar genomic areas. It does this by running single BlastP searches for each gene, then putting together the results. So, if you're trying to figure out how genes are related, this tool makes it easier.

How Does It Work?

Once it gets the data, MultiGeneBlast sorts everything based on how many hits each gene got, their cumulative Blast bit scores, and how well they stick together over time (that’s called synteny conservation). This sorting helps researchers see patterns and relationships among genes more clearly.
