GATA Examples

GATA (a Graphic Alignment Tool for Comparative Sequence Analysis)

GATA is a Java application that graphically aligns DNA sequences using the NCBI BLASTN program (ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/blast/executables/LATEST-BLAST/). To use GATA, you may need to download and uncompress the blast package (e.g. blast-2.2.6-powerpc-macosx.tar.gz for macOSX) from NCBI (ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/blast/executables/LATEST-BLAST/).

To align DNA sequences with GATA, first launch GATAliner to create and save the alignment objects. Then launch GATAPlotter to display the alignment.
