MMseqs2 desktop and local web server app for fast, interactive sequence searches

The MMseqs2 desktop and web server app facilitates interactive sequence searches through custom protein sequence and profile databases on personal workstations. By eliminating MMseqs2s runtime overhead, we reduced response times to a few seconds at sensitivities close to BLAST.\n\nAvailability and implementationThe app is easy to install for non-experts. Source code, prebuilt desktop app packages for Windows, macOS and Linux, Docker images for the web server application, and a demo web server are available at https://search.mmseqs.com.\n\nContactmartin.steinegger@mpibpc.mpg.de or soeding@mpibpc.mpg.de
