Abstract
Summary: PhyloBLAST is an internet-accessed application based on CGI/Perl programming that compares a users protein sequence to a SwissProt/TREMBL database using BLAST2 and then allows phylogenetic analyses to be performed on selected sequences from the BLAST output. Flexible features such as ability to input your own multiple sequence alignment and use PHYLIP program options provide additional web-based phylogenetic analysis functionality beyond the analysis of a BLAST result. Availability: This program is available from http://www.pathogenomics.bc.ca/phyloBLAST/ and the source code is freely available from the authors. Contact: info@pathogenomics.bc.ca
