SequenceServer Cloud BLAST

The season’s most romantic meet-cute mystery, how do gametes released into the environment recognize their own #species?🤔 New #research reveals #proteins on the unfertilized eggs might be key—at least in ribbon worms!🪱 👏 Congrats to the authors! Link👇 #science #genetics

Will we ever stop celebrating #databases? Not likely! They offer high-quality #datasets to scientists worldwide. Perfect example: Reefgenomics(.Org)🪸 Published in 2016, this #BLASTfromthePast is still being updated with #coral #genomes today! We're proud to be a part! Links👇

You’ve heard of blue-blooded, but that pales (literally) in comparison to white-blooded icefishes 🐟, the only #vertebrates without #hemoglobin! 🩸 Shin et al., (with help from #SequenceServer!) reveal that #gene loss may be to blame. Congrats to the authors! 🎉 Link👇 #genomics

Thanks to new #research on gars & bowfins, the evolution of #vertebrate #immune surveillance just got more garbled🐟Turns out these #fish have their own PSMB8 types, completely unique among vertebrates! Fascinating! 🧬 Congrats to the authors! Glad #SequenceServer could help!

Open Sesame!🪄By now you know we love an open access #database! Well, SesamumGDB, the brand-new #genomic database for cultivated & wild #sesame #species, is here!🌿 Plus, with #SequenceServer integration, you can #BLAST away to your heart’s content!🧬Link 👇 Happy BLASTing!

🌻Sunflowers,🥬lettuces, &🫖chamomile: all from the #Asteraceae family, which covers 7% of flowering #plant diversity! This makes AMIR, a multi-omics #database with 74 species, 4.4M annotated #genes, & #SequenceServer BLAST capabilities, a huge deal! Congrats Liu et al. Links👇

🦠 K. pneumoniae, a key culprit for #septicemia & UTIs, showed increasing #antimicrobialresistance between 2019-2021 based on whole #genome sequencing by Gamaleldin et al. 🧬 Concerning, but work like this is crucial for tracking the rise in resistant #pathogens. Link 👇

🦠 Bacteria-on-bacteria warfare in #milk might help treat Staph aureus & MRSA! 🥛Check out this #BLASTfromthePast where researchers isolate bacteriocins—bacteria's own bacteria-killing weapon—from bovine milk & test their inhibitory power on S. aureus and MRSA. Link👇 #genetics

Did you know? Raphid #diatoms are one of the few eukaryotes that can glide! And they do it surprisingly... rap(h)idly! 🏎️ Congrats to Davutoglu et al. & @StefanDiezLab for their Nature #paper on the #molecular secrets behind this movement. Glad SequenceServer could help! 🌟

Struggling to decode your #blastn results? 🧬 SequenceServer has you covered! Our latest #blog is a step-by-step guide packed with handy examples to help you master blastn! Check it out (link in the comments). Happy BLASTing! #Bioinformatics #Genomics #BLAST #ResearchTips

🚨 #BLASTfromthePast: Revisiting a truly enlightening study on the origins of firefly #bioluminescence. 🌟 Did #fireflies and click #beetles share a glowing ancestor? Or did they #evolve it separately? Fascinating paper! Proud that #SequenceServer could play a part! #genomics
