Tool:CLASTR, the Cellosaurus STR simillarity search tool now supports mouse and dog STR profiles

Question

[Amos Bairoch]

CLASTR is the name of the Cellosaurus STR search tool available at:

https://web.expasy.org/cellosaurus-str-search/

It now supports STR profile similarity searches for mouse and dog cell lines.

Compared with human (6680), there is currently very few mouse (51) and dog (36) cell lines with a STR profile, but we hope that gradually this situation will evolve and that researchers will start to authenticate non-human cell lines.

Note also that the paper describing CLASTR is now available:
