Abstract:
BLAST is the algorithm used for sequence search in biological data and comparing it for data analyses. A BLAST user interface is already developed and implemented on the Drupal framework, and implemented at the Legume Information System websites (http://legumeinfo.org) This website holds data for man different crop legume species and tools for comparative legume genomics.
Project aims to introduce the web services for the BLAST module for Legumeinfo.org so that we can expose the functionality of BLAST module through a REST API’s in Drupal. Drupal is the CMS (Content Management System), a free open source written in PHP with an extensive programming API. We have extended the BLAST module with new features and supported web services.
