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. - -NOTE ABOUT x86: -Since version 2.2.31, NCBI does not provide 32-bit executables of -BLAST+ for Linux. Their reasoning is that the limited memory and -processing power of 32-bit systems is not suitable for the large -databases searched by BLAST. |
