본 연구를 통하여 연체동물 전용 BLAST 서버 (Version II) 가 웹주소 http://www.malacol.or.kr/blast 에 구축되었다. 연체동물을 대상으로 하는 연구에 있어 필요한 정보를 매우 빠르게 얻을 수 있었다. 본 시스템을 사용하여 앞으로도 많은 연구가 진행되어지길 바라며, 아울러 많은 연체동물 연구자들에게 많은 도움이 되리라고 사료된다.
Since we reported a BLAST server for the mollusk in 2004, no work has reported the usability or modification of the server. To improve its usability, the BLAST server for the mollusk has been updated as version II (http://www.malacol.or.kr/blast) in the present study. The database was constructed by using the Intel server Platform ZSS130 dual Xeon 3.20 GHz CPU and Linux CentOS system and with NCBI WebBLAST package. We downloaded the mollusk nucleotide, amino acid, EST, GSS and mitochondrial genome sequences which can be opened through NCBI web BLAST and used them to build up the database. The updated database consists of 520,977 nucleotide sequences, 229,857 amino acid sequences, 586,498 EST sequences, 23,112 GSS and 565 mitochondrial genome sequences. Total database size is 1.2 GB. Furthermore, we have added repeat sequences, Escherichia coli sequences and vector sequences to facilitate data validation. The newly updated BLAST server for the mollusk will be useful for many malacological researchers as it will save time to identify and study various molluscan genes.
