Custom Phylogenetic Analysis
SepsiTest™ BLAST is an innovative web-based microbial identification software. The SepsiTest™ BLAST technology allows for identification of single (partial) small subunit rRNA sequences in a rapid and highly reliable way. It can easily be accessed via www.sepsitest-blast.net and represents an optimised BLAST search against a high quality database containing more than 7,300 high quality and fully classified rDNA sequences. They represent all known bacterial type strains (the references for all hitherto described species) plus a selection of cultivated fungi including the genera Candida, Aspergillus and Cryptococcus. Set-up of SepsiTest™ BLAST was motivated by the identification of pathogens but the system may also be used for other purposes (in e.g. pharmaceutical, environmental microbiology, food microbiology, quality control).
A BLAST search provides the most similar sequences of a query within a given reference database. If this database is of high quality and optimized for a specific application, like SepsiTest™ BLAST, the tool can be used for the e.g. reliable identification of rDNA sequences. So far, nothing comparable to SepsiTest™ BLAST is publicly available.
If you are interested in learning about the relationships within of a given set of sequences, phylogenetic analysis is required. In addition, we identify rDNA sequences of so far unknown microorganisms. In cooperation with our partner Ribocon, a bioinformatics service provider for microbiology (www.ribocon.com), we offer advanced classification and in-depth phylogenetic analysis. Based on your specifications, we classify several hundreds to thousands of rDNA sequences from your clone libraries or calculate phylogenetic trees from up to 10,000 sequences.
You have specific organisms in culture you are working with on a daily basis? You consider starting a genome sequencing project? We also provide convenient services for genome and metagenome analysis. A fully automated bioinformatics pipeline including binning, advanced ORF finding, and automatic annotation allows us to process your sequence data in a fast and efficient way. Results are provided in an easy to install database plus a powerful software tool for subsequent local data exploration. You can simply take your analyzed genome home.
We are committed to highest scientific quality standards. For our list of publications and more information please visit www.ribocon.com.
