ResumoComparative analysis of DNA sequences is becoming one of the major methods for discovery of functionally important genomic intervals. Presented here the VISTA family of computational tools was built to help researchers in this undertaking. These tools allow the researcher to align DNA sequences, quickly visualize conservation levels between them, identify highly conserved regions, and analyze sequences of interest through one of the following approaches: All VISTA tools use standard algorithms for visualization and conservation analysis to make comparison of results from different programs more straightforward. The web page http://genome.lbl.gov/vista/ serves as a portal for access to all VISTA tools. Our support group can be reached by email at vista@lbl.gov.
