MetaGraph - Biological Sequence Search
Petabase-Scale Search for DNA, RNA & Amino acids
metagraph.ethz.ch
The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich has published a genomic search engine, described by Nature as a google for genomic data:
Although MetaGraph is tagged as ‘Google for DNA’, Chikhi likens the tool to a search engine for YouTube, because the tasks are more computationally demanding. In the same way that YouTube searches can retrieve every video that features, say, red balloons even when those key words don’t appear in the title, tags or description, MetaGraph can uncover genetic patterns hidden deep within expansive sequencing data sets without needing those patterns to be explicitly annotated in advance.
