Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

Genome comparison is one of the excellent ways to interpret the evolutionary relationships between organisms. The basic principle of genome comparison is that if two species share a common feature, it is likely encoded by the DNA sequence conserved between both species. The advent of genome sequencing technologies in the late 20th century enabled scientists to understand the concept of conservation of domains between species and helped them to deduce evolutionary relationships across diverse...

Area of Science:

Bioinformatics
Computational Biology
Genomics

Background:

The Galaxy workflow system is a popular open-source platform for data-intensive life sciences research.
Galaxy offers a web interface and API for complex analyses, including sequence similarity searches using tools like NCBI BLAST+ and DIAMOND.
Currently, there is a lack of specialized software for convenient access to NCBI BLAST+ and DIAMOND via the Galaxy API.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a software package that facilitates the use of NCBI BLAST+ and DIAMOND through the Galaxy API.
To provide a user-friendly interface for running sequence alignments within the Galaxy ecosystem.

Main Methods:

Development of blast2galaxy, a Python package utilizing the Galaxy API.
Implementation of a command-line interface (CLI) mirroring BLAST+ and DIAMOND CLIs.
Inclusion of a high-level Python API for direct integration into Python applications.
Leveraging the bioblend library for Galaxy API communication.

Main Results:

blast2galaxy enables remote execution of NCBI BLAST+ and DIAMOND alignments via the Galaxy API.
The package offers both CLI and Python API access for flexible usage.
It integrates seamlessly with Galaxy-wrapped versions of BLAST+ and DIAMOND.

Conclusions:

blast2galaxy addresses the need for convenient access to sequence alignment tools within the Galaxy platform.
The package enhances bioinformatics workflows by simplifying the execution of BLAST+ and DIAMOND searches.
blast2galaxy is available as open-source software with comprehensive documentation and multiple installation options.
