GeneBlocks is a Python library for comparing DNA sequences. It can be used to:
Find common blocks in a group of DNA sequences, to factorize them (e.g. only analyze or synthetize each common block once).
Highlight differences between sequences (insertions, deletions, mutations).
Transfer Genbank features from one record to another sharing similar subsequences.
At the Edinburgh Genome Foundry, we use GeneBlocks to optimize sequence assembly, explore sets of non-annotated sequences, or visualize the differences between different versions of a sequence, and re-annotate records coming from third parties such as DNA manufacturers.
