Abstract
PhyloBLAST is an internet-accessed application based on CGI/Perl programmin g that compares a users protein sequence to a SwissProt/TREMBL database usi ng BLAST2 and then allows phylogenetic analyses to be performed on selected sequences from the BLAST output. Flexible features such as ability to inpu t your own multiple sequence alignment and use PHYLIP program options provi de additional web-based phylogenetic analysis functionality beyond the anal ysis of a BLAST result.
