Viral Bioinformatics

Genostar, in collaboration with the world leading companies Sanofi Pasteur and Merial, is developing a bioinformatics suite dedicated to analysis of viral genomes and proteomes.

The functionalities of Genostar's viral solution are intended to help researchers better analyze and understand the structure, function and evolution of viral genomes: extensive and efficient searches for relevant sequences through powerful Blast queries such as provided by KoriBlast, storage and management of viral sequences and their annotations, computation and edition of large multiple alignments, appropriate coding of selected proteic regions, clustering analysis of the resulting multidimensional data for characterizing these regions.

The methodology supported by Genostar's viral solution allows for the identification of protein "hot spots" and responds to the needs of vaccine research.
