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. |
