Multi-omics queries made easy, fast and insightful
Omics data has grown well beyond 'Big Data' and keeps growing exponentially. The real challenge is to find a tool to make all this data insightful and searchable.
We provide you with the ultimate search engine for multi-omics data that analyses and compares your sequences in the fastest way possible. No need to learn how to code to launch complex cross database searches. It is a self service analytics platform for multi-omics data where you can enter your queries in the format you prefer.
R&R is your go-to tool for
Sequence searching
Search multiple databases in parallel across all translations by default
Sequence comparison
Compare which part of your sequences are alike, and which parts differ
Multiple sequence alignment
Align multiple sequences together to detect conserved regions.
Motif search
Find any motif either by highlighting them or filtering on your specific profile
Protein domain analysis
Find protein family/ fold/ structure annotation
DNA mapping
Map any unknown sequences to all your data to find its relevant region
Cool features of Retrieve & Relate

One Search Bar For All Queries
Our tool’s search bar enables you to start searching for DNA, RNA or Proteins as well as free text - meaning there is no need to set any preliminary search parameters or filters which restrict the search space.
Simply paste a biological sequence or certain functions, species or other metadata in the search bar to find similar sequences. Your results are immediately displayed on 3 levels: DNA, RNA and AA.
Filter
Filter with Multiple Granularities
Our philosophy is to keep things transparent and comprehensive.
Start with a global overview and then choose how to drill down into the details that suit your research question.
Exclude or include specific parameters and sequence details such as DNA, RNA, proteins or patents with an easy tabular function
Text-based Search
Start From Free Text
The unique capabilities of the HYFTsTM allows for combining textual data with biological sequence data.
In other words, searching by textual data is intrinsically linked to searching biological sequence data. With this, we increase the speed of search to results.
Alignment View
For DNA, RNA and AA Sequences
Even if your input is a subsequence, the Biostrand’s signature multiple sequence alignment takes into account the whole sequence for aligning it.
No more query window bias. We make sure you always have all the information: both outside and inside your query window
Results List
Switch Easily From Overview to Details
A handy overview bar helps to keep track of chosen filters which makes it easy to apply and reapply the filters.
You can simply click on a filter and it immediately shows the relevant insights and results.
Each main domain is associated with a specific filter.

Unique results presentation
Quickly drill down and extrapolate
In the Explorer View, select or combine multiple dimensions such as taxonomy or ontology to quickly discover novelty functional relationships.
Obtain an overview for annotating functions, or discover other useful visual applications such as ontology maps, frequency tables or multiple sequence alignment views.

"BioStrand is the missing link in the development of our innovations. It accelerates and improves the process, and pro-actively enables new types of developments. A great tool for bio-informaticians and genetic experts. It also helps the less specialised researchers like myself to accurately direct and guide the experts and their research."
