TaxaBLAST is a new application that performs a BLAST search to find the species exemplar sequence most similar to a query sequence
TaxaBLAST will search a database composed of all ICTV species exemplar genomic nucleotide sequences for exemplars most similar to your chosen query sequence. The BLAST database used for the search is derived from the most recent VMR release. The results will provide an indication of how similar your virus sequence is to the sequences of other viruses that are representative of the virus isolates classified into a particular species.
