Abstract

Sequence analysis is one of the most fundamental tasks in molecular biology. Because of the increasing number of sequences we still need more computing power. One of the solutions are grid environments, which make use of computing centers. In this paper we present plug-in which enables the use of BLAST software for sequence analysis within Grid environments such as UNICORE (Uniform Interface to Computing Resources) and GPE (Grid Programming Environment).
