As far as BLAST goes, it depends on what specifically you want. There is a web interface at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/BLAST that's useful in many common cases but not always appropriate. The source package that builds blast2 also includes some web frontend code, but I've left it out of the binary packages because I'd rather not be responsible for server-side code if I can help it.
Some of the programs in the ncbi-tools-x11 package support viewing BLAST-produced alignments; there's also a seaview package for viewing alignments, but I'm not certain there's any overlap between the output formats BLAST supports and the input formats seaview supports. :-/ Installing the libvibrant6 package will give the tools in the blast2 package menu entries that allow you to specify their options via (rather large and crude) dialog boxes. -- Aaron M.
