The 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.
