Abstract Genchek is a comprehensive, multi-platform, sequence analysis software package. It facilitates the analysis of Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs), Complete Genome, and Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) data.

Genchek is a research information and experiment management tool that integrates public and proprietary data through a discovery workspace that provides contextual access to sequence analysis tools, content, and services.

Genchek contains an integral database system that can be used to access, store, organize and retrieve DNA, protein and vector sequences in an intuitive environment that offers editing, management and annotation of sequences.
