BL!P Description

BL!P, or BLAST in Pivot, is a computer program that automates the NCBI BLAST alignment of coding DNA or protein sequences and processes the results for visualization in the Microsoft Live Labs program Pivot. BL!P automatically submits multiple FASTA formatted coding DNA or amino acid sequences to a NCBI BLAST protein database. Submissions are polled until complete, and the results are saved to disk for later use. Upon completion of the NCBI BLAST search, the GenBank records for each BLAST hit that meets user specified criteria is downloaded and saved to disk for later use. The results from BLAST and information in the GenBank records are parsed and converted to a Pivot collection. Using data from the Pivot collection, a custom image layout is constructed to represent each BLAST hit. The results are saved to disk and can be loaded into Pivot for exploration. Get BL!P and take it for a spin to see what it can actually do for you!
