Figure 3From: BLASTGrabber: a bioinformatic tool for visualization, analysis and sequence selection of massive BLAST dataComparing the graphical representations of BLAST alignment by the BLASTGrabber, BlastViewer and JAMBLAST programs. A) HSP alignments from both “Fibronectin-3 motif” and “I-Set motif” queries aligned against the “D1YSG0_DROME Bent” protein sequence in the BLASTGrabber program. Triggered by positioning the mouse over it, details for the first HSP are displayed. Based on a selected HSP attribute such as e-values or bit scores, the HSP representations can be colour-coded as a heat map (not shown because this would hide the HSP query names) B) HSP for the “Fibronectin-3 motif” query aligned against same protein in the BlastViewer program. In this program, HSPs for multiple queries cannot be displayed in the same graphical representation. The HSP overlaps are colour-coded (purple, green and black) so as to reflect significance categories. C) The same HSPs (“Fibronectin-3 motif” vs. “D1YSG0_DROME Bent”) as displayed by the JAMBLAST program. Again, alignments from multiple queries cannot be displayed along the same sequence.Back to article page
