BaCon is a chrome extension that gives you access to all kinds of bioinformatic tools in a handy right-click context menu. Whenever you select a sequence with your mouse and right-click on the selection, you will see the BaCON menu, containing a lot of tools both for nucleotide sequences and protein sequences. The tools you want to have in the menu is fully customizable and contains many commonly used tools, such as BLAST and many tools from the EMBOSS package. BaCON allows you to use these tools directly when you find an interesting sequence, without having to save it to file or finding the correct web site to enter your data. To use BaCON, just mark the sequence, right-click, and select your tool. That’s all there is to it.
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
