| What is BioLegato? BioLegato is the graphical user interface that runs programs in BIRCH. BioLegato can work with many different kinds of data, including sequences, alignments, phylogenetic trees, molecular markers, and NGS sequencing reads. BioLegato makes it easy to point and click through complex analytical pipelines, such as genome or transcriptome assembly. |
 Examples of BioLegato applications. From top to bottom: blnfetch - BLAST results, retrieves hits from NCBI; blpalign - analysis of multple protein alignmens; blncbi - build queries to find sequences at NCBI; blreads - preprocessing and quality control of NGS reads; genome and transcriptome assembly.
