Top Features
SeqQuests is a new collection of bioinformatics software. It is at an early stage.
- Optimised for Apple silicon: A fast Smith-Waterman amino acid sequence comparison.
- Dual architecture: Scriptable command-line utilities (python) with optional web-browser/API-endpoint interfaces
- ~20 twilight zone findings: These suggest database annotation updates.
About SeqQuests
Building open bioinformatics software - using composable pieces.
Code is on GitHub.
SeqQuests
Smith Waterman
Running for 36 hours the flagship module of SeqQuests performed an all-on-all Smith-Waterman comparison of UniProt Swiss-Prot (~570,000 sequences) finding many relationships between proteins in the process
Additional Tools
The software library additionally includes work on:
- Displaying sequence composition bias
- Browsing Swiss-Prot feature tables with a domain viewer
- Navigating a tree of protein similarities
- Kabsch 3D alignment
