Toolbox at the EBI

The European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) toolbox area provides a comprehensive range of tools for the field of bioinformatics. These are subdivided into categories in the left menu for convenience.

We have developed a large number of very useful bioinformatics tools.

A few examples include:

Similarity & Homology - the BLAST or FASTA programs can be used to look for sequence similarity and infer homology.
Protein Functional Analysis - InterProScan can be used to search for motifs in your protein sequence.
Proteomic Services NEW - UniProt DAS server allows researchers to show their research results in the context of UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot annotation.
Sequence Analysis - ClustalW2 a sequence alignment tool.
Structural Analysis - MSDfold or DALI can be used to query your protein structure and compare it to those in the Protein Data Bank (PDB).
Web Services - provide programmatic access to the various databases and retrieval/analysis services EBI provides.
Tools Miscellaneous - Expression Profiler a set of tools for clustering, analysis and visualisation of gene expression and other genomic data.
