Voseq, web database for molecular phylogenetics

• Are you working in molecular phylogenetics? Do you and your lab produce lots of DNA sequences. 
• Are you tired of trying to find your sequences among several text files and Excel sheets? 
• Do you wish there was a easy-to-use database to keep track of sequences and their associated voucher specimens? 
• Did you ever wished there was a system to create molecular datasets for analysis in PAUP or MrBayes by just a few clicks of a mouse? 

If the answers are "yes", then VoSeq might be for you. VoSeq is a voucher and DNA sequence web application database aimed for people working in molecular phylogenetics.

Main features of VoSeq:

• Keep track of your sequences and associated voucher specimens. 
• You upload your data to VoSeq and the back-end relational database will allow you to easily search, fetch, update, etc your DNA sequences or voucher data. 
• With a few clicks, you can create ready-to-run datasets in NEXUS, Phylip, TNT formats, as well as FASTA files for submission to GenBank. 
• Use the BLAST capabilities to find similar sequences among those you have, or BLAST against GenBank. 
• Automated integration with public web services such as Flickr (for posting your voucher photos) and Yahoo Maps (for plotting voucher localities). 
• You can install it in your computer for private use, or set it up in a shared server for collaborative work via the internet. 
• and more. 

The publication describing VoSeq came out recently:
