Hi All,
I
am writing to let you all know about an online tool ,Double ACT,(http://193.129.245.227/pise/double_act.html)
that we have written that generates
comparison files for ACT.
The
web page allows a user to select genomes from a drop down list or specify their
own genome files. The genomes in the list are those available form the NCBI
microbial genomes ftp site (ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/genomes/Bacteria/) and are updated
regularly to reflect changes to the completed genomes publically
available. Next the blastm algorithm must be
selected (blastn or blastx) and then the job submitted. Since the process
of generating an ACT comparison file is computationally intensive, the results are sent as an URL link to the
user once available. The results page allows the user to download the genomes
and comparison file to their own PC as valid input files for the ACT program. If
a genome from the drop down list was selected then the equivalent annotatated
genbank file is available for download.
We
include a help page to aid
users in the use of the tool.
The tool is freely available at http://193.129.245.227/pise/double_act.html and any feedback/suggestions can be sent to us at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
