Below are some examples of bioinformatics tools or resources:

1. AB- BLAST
  • This software package is used for gene and protein identification by applying the similarity searches     of protein and nucleotide sequence databases.  
  • http://www.advbiocomp.com/blast.html
2. Antibody
  • The world’s largest antibody manufacturer by taking genomic/ proteomic approach for the antibody development which is in contrast with the traditional method of antibody production. 
  • http://www.abnova.com/
 3. NCBI BLAST
  • BLAST finds regions of local similarity between sequence. 
  • Compares nucleotides or proteins sequences to sequence databases and calculates the statistical significance of matches. 
  • Infer functional and evolutionary relationships between sequences as well as help to identify members of gene families.
  • http://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/
4. BioCyc 
  •  A collection of 3530 Pathway/ Genome databases.
  • Provide tools for navigating, visualizing, and analyzing the underlying databases, and for analyzing omics data. 
  • http://www.biocyc.org/
5. Biolayout 
  • Biolayout Express 3D is designed for visualisation of  huge graphs in two and three dimensional space derived from biological data. 
  • It is also used in the clustering, exploring and analyzing large sized graphs in two and three dimensional space derived from biological data. 
  • http://www.biolayout.org/
6. Bioruby 
  • Bioruby is equipped with a comprehensive set of free development tools and libraries for bioinformatics and molecular biology, especially for the Ruby programming language. 
  • It consists of different components for the analysis of sequence, analysis of pathway, protein modelling and analysis of phylogenetic.
  • http://www.bioruby.org/
7. Biosearch-2D
  • BioSearch-2D renders the contents of large biomedical document collections into a single, dynamic map. 
  • With this, users can generate a summary map of genes versus ontology topics that match those provided by expert human reviewed articles. 
  • It also provides users a context specific, functtional annotation system for high-throughput gene signatures and ad-hoc gene lists.

8. Bowtie 
  • Bowtie is an ultrafast, memory-efficient short read aligner geared toward quickly aligning large sets of short DNA sequences to large genomes. 
  • It aligns 35 base-pair reads to the human genome at a rate of 25 million reads per hour on a typical workstation. 
  • It also indexes the genome with a Burrows Wheeler index to keep its memory footprint small. 
  • http://bowtie-bio.sourceforge.net/index.shtml
9. BWA
  • BWA is used for mapping low-divergent sequences against a large reference genome, for instance human genome. 
  • It comprises three algorithms such as BWA-backtrack, BWA-SW amd BWA-MEM.
  • http://bio-bwa.sourceforge.net/bwa.shtml
10. Clustal Omega 
11. Cross_Match 
  • Cross_Match is used for comparing any two DNA sequence sets using a 'banded' version of swat. 
  • Swat is a program for searching one or more DNA or protein query sequences, or a query profile, against a sequence database, using an efficient implementation of the Smith-waterman or Needleman-Wunsch algorithms with linear gap penalties.
