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.

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.
