Analyze DNA Sequences with BLAST
Compare your genetic data to global databases using NIH’s powerful tool
BLASTing DNA Sequences: Unlocking Genetic Mysteries with Precision
DNA sequence analysis is a cornerstone of modern genetics, and BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) is the gold standard for comparing genetic data.
Developed by the NIH, this powerful algorithm scans global databases—like GenBank—to identify matches between your DNA, RNA, or protein sequences and known genes, pathogens, or evolutionary relatives. Whether you're studying a novel gene, diagnosing a mutation, or tracing viral origins, BLAST delivers rapid, accurate results. Researchers use it to annotate genomes, validate lab findings, and even uncover evolutionary relationships across species. With options like blastn (nucleotide searches) and blastp (protein comparisons), BLAST bridges the gap between raw data and biological insight. Ready to explore?
