AnABlast: Re-searching for Protein-Coding Sequences in Genomic Regions
AnABlast is a computational tool that highlights protein-coding regions within intergenic and intronic DNA sequences which escape detection by standard gene prediction algorithms. DNA sequences with small protein-coding genes or exons, complex intron-containing genes, or degenerated DNA fragments are efficiently targeted by AnABlast. Furthermore, this algorithm is particularly useful in detecting protein-coding sequences with nonsignificant homologs to sequences in databases. AnABlast can be executed online at http://www.bioinfocabd.upo.es/anablast/ .
