GhostKOALA assigns K numbers to the user's sequence data by GHOSTX search against reference GENES datasets, the same datasets used by BlastKOALA.    See Step-by-step Instructions.


Upload query amino acid sequences in FASTA format
Enter FASTA sequences

Or upload file:
Your query data consisting of multiple amino acid sequences will be given K numbers by GhostKOALA.
The file size of up to 300 MB with the limit of 500,000 sequences may be uploaded.

Select reference GENES datasets to be searched
Eukaryotes + Prokaryotes + Viruses
Prokaryotes + Viruses
Eukaryotes and prokaryotes contain sequences of KEGG reference genomes and sequences linked from pubmed records of KO data. Viruses contain all sequences of KEGG viruses.
