The NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information) development toolkit,
|
|
containing various libraries needed by NCBI applications, as well as a
|
|
software suite containing, amongst other things, NCBI BLAST 2.0.
|
|
|
|
From the README:
|
|
|
|
The NCBI Software Development Toolkit was developed for the production and
|
|
distribution of GenBank, Entrez, BLAST, and related services by NCBI. We
|
|
make it freely available to the public without restriction to facilitate
|
|
the use of NCBI by the scientific community. However, please understand
|
|
that while we feel we have done a high quality job, this is not commercial
|
|
software.
|
|
|
|
The documentation lags considerably behind the software and we must make
|
|
any changes required by our data production needs. Nontheless, many people
|
|
have found it a useful and stable basis for a number of tools and
|
|
applications.
