Plugin Introduction


Content of this page:

The Blast2GO PRO Plugin makes the most popular Blast2GO features directly available from within the workbench (Main and Genomics).  It allows you to extend and integrate your bioinformatics data analysis with cutting-edge functional genomics tools. All features are seamlessly integrated and provide a professional solution for the functional analysis of novel sequence datasets. Genome-wide functional annotation and interpretation can be executed as workflows directly on you existing datasets. The plugin allows to speed-up your sequence alignments with CloudBlast to find homologous sequences, extract GO terms and create high-quality Gene Ontology functional annotations. Additional classifications can be performed through functional enrichment analysis, Gene Ontology summaries and rich graph visualizations. Download the plugin to get a free trial.

Developed by

The Blast2GO PRO Plugin is developed and maintained by BioBam Bioinformatics. BioBam, founded in 2011 and located in Valencia, Spain is dedicated to creating user-friendly software for the scientific community. With Blast2GO it provides an all-in-one solution solutions for functional genomics (functional annotation and analysis of genomic datasets) especially popular in non-model organism research. Blast2GO counts with over 3000 scientific citations and is used by top private and public research institutions worldwide. BioBam is collaborating with leading world-class bioinformatics companies like e.g. in this case with CLC bio/Qiagen as well as a growing number distribution partners around the world. For more information about BioBam please visit https://www.biobam.com.

System Requirements

The plugin is available for CLC bio Main-, Genomics- and Biomedical Workbench. In general there are no plugin specific requirements other than the ones of the CLC bio Workbench itself. Since several features depend on online resources we strongly recommend a working network/internet connection when working with Blast2GO.

Installation

The plugin can be installed via the Plugin Manager from within the CLC bio Workbench. From the Manage Plugin tab choose the Blast2GO PRO plugin and click on download and Install. Once installed the workbench will automatically inform about new updates. Regarding licensing options and quotes please contact the CLC bio sales team: sales@clcbio.com
