The BioTools Suite. A comprehensive suite of platform-independent bioinformatics tools

D S Wishart et al. Mol Biotechnol. 2001 Sep.

Abstract

The BioTools Suite is a set of three comprehensive, platform-independent software packages (PepTool, GeneTool, and ChromaTool) developed for sequence assembly and analysis. In addition to supporting a large number of standard bioinformatics functions, these programs also incorporate a number of useful innovations including uniform graphical-user interface (GUI) design, direct internet connectivity, a novel approach to feature annotation, and a variety of enhanced algorithms for large scale proteome and genome analysis. This article describes the key features, recent changes, and general operation of all three programs.
