About BioSeq-Diabolo

Introduction

BioSeq-Diabolo contains two parts of webserver and stand alone package to meet different needs.

Please refer to tutorial and stand-alone package manual for the specific use of webserver and stand alone package.

Hierarchical analogy

The similarities between biological sequence similarity analysis (a) and natural language semantics analysis (b).

Related softwares

The related softwares are listed as follows. They are intelligent software tools for different tasks. BioSeq-BLM [1], BioSeq-Analysis2.0 [2] and BioSeq-Analysis [3] are designed for biological sequence feature extraction and predictors construction. And BioSeq-Diabolo can automatically construct the computational predictors for biological sequence similarity analysis, evaluate the performance, and analyze the results. BioSeq-Diabolo is an important updated version of BioSeq-BLM focusing on the homogeneous and heterogeneous biological sequence similarity analysing, which is beyond the reach of any exiting software tool or platform. The biological sequence features extracted by BioSeq-BLM can be served as the input of BioSeq-Diabolo, while the biological sequence similarity scores calculated by BioSeq-Diabolo can also be regard as the input features of BioSeq-BLM’s classification and sequence labelling models. The users are able to use these software tools for their own tasks and aims.
