Resumo: Background The wide range of potential applications has made the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) a ubiquitous tool in the field of Molecular Biology. Within this context, it is increasingly appealing to embed BLAST services within larger Web applications. Results This work introduces BlasterJS viewer, a new JavaScript library for the lightweight development of Web-based applications supporting the visualisation of BLAST outputs. BlasterJS detaches from similar data viewers by focusing on the visual and interactive display of sequence similarity results and being completely independent of BLAST services. BlasterJS is compatible with the text outputs generated by the BLAST family of programs, namely BLASTp, BLASTn, BLASTx, tBLASTn, and tBLASTx, and works in all major Web browsers. Furthermore, BlasterJS is available through the EBIs BioJS registry 5, which extends its potential use to a wider scope of bioinformatics applications. Conclusions BlasterJS is new Javascript library that enables easy and seamless integration of visual and interactive representations of BLAST outputs in Web-based applications supporting sequence similarity search. BlasterJS is free accessible at http://sing-group.org/blasterjs/.
