Blast2GO is a convenient, user-friendly solution to the problem of annotating DNA sequence data, and is especially useful for novel sequences from non-model organisms. We have used Blast2GO for annotation of sequences from flatfish, sticklebacks, zebrafish, Daphnia, algae and annelids and for analysis of gene expression and high throughput sequencing data. Blast2GO has already been a key component in 14 peer-reviewed publications from our laboratory. The package can be freely accessed from any networked computer and the graphical user interface avoids tedious command-line syntax. The developers are approachable and responsive, providing excellent online support. I recommend Blast2GO as part of any molecular biologist’s informatics toolbox.

I have found Blast2Go very helpful in my work for blasting and annotating various sequences. The versatile and user-friendly interface makes small and large blast-annotations jobs easy and provides a very comprehensive collection of tools needed for doing the work.
