+BLAST+ Command Line Applications
+
+The NCBI Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) finds regions of
+local similarity between sequences. The program compares nucleotide or
+protein sequences to sequence databases and calculates the statistical
+significance of matches. BLAST can be used to infer functional and
+evolutionary relationships between sequences as well as help identify
+members of gene families.
+
+BLAST+ is a new suite of BLAST tools that utilizes the NCBI C++
+Toolkit. The BLAST+ applications have a number of performance and
+feature improvements over the legacy BLAST applications (ncbi-blast).
+
+For details and citation, please see the BLAST+ user manual from the
+program's web site and the article in BMC Bioinformatics.
+
+This just repackages the binaries provided from upstream.
