Today i will talk about an important resource right here in East Africa.
BECA is an acronym for biosciences east and central africa. It is an initiative endorsed by the New Partnership for Africa ’s Development (NEPAD) to support eastern and central African countries develop and apply bioscience research and expertise to produce technologies that help poor farmers secure their assets, improve their productivity and income and increase their market opportunities.

If NCBI is giving you a headache and you want your fast, and you feel geeky, then you can try the Paracel blast.
Paracel Blast is an enhanced version of the NCBI BLAST source code optimised for use on clusters. Paracel BLAST enhancements are achieved without loss of accuracy, sensitivity, or selectivity. Optimum search time is obtained through searches automatically being parallelized, queued and scheduled using Platform LSF For more bioinfo geek stuff, try visiting that resource! and you can do it from home! |
