abstract :

The bioinformatics focus on developing and applying computational-ly intensive techniques to increase the understanding of biological processes. Inthis report we create the compact computer systems mini-blast and methagraphfinding the dna sequences in the bioinformatics databases (dbs) placed in localor web configurations. Our system allows identify the gene sequences relatingto new pattern (metagenome) that is not identified yet in such dbs containingdata on known nucleotides. Such a task is quite expensive and time consumingoperation; therefore for large genomes the parallel algorithms are required. Wedevelop a graphics user-friendly interface (gui) that allows simple input thequery data and representative statistical analysis in the output. Additionally, us-er can select the particular dbs for cases when a specific alignment is required.Although the package is developed in ms .net 3.5/4.0 visual c# system, it workswith no limitations in linux in the mono framework.
