MuSeqBox is a program to parse BLAST output and store attributes of BLAST hits in tabular form. The user can apply a number of selection criteria to filter out hits with particular attributes. MuSeqBox provides a powerful annotation tool for large sets of query sequences that are simultaneously compared against a database with any of the standard stand-alone or network-client BLAST programs. We discuss such application to the problem of annotation and analysis of EST collections.
The program was written in standard C++ and is freely available to noncommercial users by request from the authors. The program is also available over the web at http://bioinformatics.iastate.edu/bioinformatics2go/mb/MuSeqBox.html.
MuSeqBox是一个用于解析BLAST输出并以表格形式存储BLAST命中结果属性的程序。用户可以应用多种选择标准来过滤掉具有特定属性的命中结果。MuSeqBox为大量查询序列提供了一个强大的注释工具，这些查询序列可使用任何标准的独立或网络客户端BLAST程序同时与数据库进行比较。我们讨论了其在EST集合注释和分析问题中的此类应用。
该程序用标准C++编写，非商业用户可通过向作者请求免费获得。该程序也可通过网络在http://bioinformatics.iastate.edu/bioinformatics2go/mb/MuSeqBox.html上获取。
