What is Blast2GO?

Blast2GO is a bioinformatics platform for high-quality functional annotation and analysis of genomic datasets. It allows analyzing and visualizing newly sequenced genomes by combining state-of-the-art methodologies, standard resources and algorithms. Blast2GO allows to gain biological insights fast and easy even for completely novel genomes. Perform out-of-the-box the entire workflow of functional annotation of your transcriptomic datasets including its analysis and biological interpretation. More here.
