Features and Functions

The Bioinformatics Toolbox includes many functions to help you with genome and proteome analysis. Most functions are implemented in M-code (the MATLAB programming language) with the source available for you to view. This open environment lets you explore and customize the existing toolbox algorithms or develop your own.

Data Formats and DatabasesAccess online databases, copy data into the MATLAB workspace, and read and write to files with standard bioinformatic formats.
Sequence AlignmentsCompare nucleotide or amino acid sequences using pairwise and multiple sequence alignment functions.
Sequence Utilities and Statistics Manipulate sequences and determine physical, chemical, and biological characteristics.
Protein Property AnalysisDetermine protein characteristics and simulate enzyme cleavage reactions.
Phylogenetic AnalysisExplore phylogenetic data with functions and a GUI to draw phylograms (trees)
Microarray Data AnalysisRead, filter, normalize, and visualize microarray data.
Mass Spectrometry Data AnalysisPreprocess raw mass spectrometry data and use statistical learning functions to identify patterns.
Graph Visualization MethodsView relationships between data visually with interaction maps, hierarchy plots, and pathways.
Statistical Learning and VisualizationClassify and identify features in data sets, set up cross-validation experiments, and compare different classification methods.
Prototype and Development EnvironmentCreate new algorithms, try new ideas, and analyze alternatives.
Data VisualizationVisually compare pairwise sequence alignments, multiply aligned sequences, gene expression data from microarrays, and plot nucleic acid and protein characteristics.
Algorithm Sharing and Application DeploymentCreate GUIs and stand-alone applications.
