  4. Nov 28, 2023 · USA.gov. 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.

  5. Introduction. BLAST is an acronym for Basic Local Alignment Search Tool and refers to a suite of programs used to generate alignments between a nucleotide or protein sequence, referred to as a “query” and nucleotide or protein sequences within a database, referred to as “subject” sequences.

  6. BLAST is a computer algorithm that is available for use online at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) website, as well as many other sites. BLAST can rapidly align and...

  7. Mar 21, 2024 · BLASTn (Nucleotide BLAST): compares one or more nucleotide query sequences to a subject nucleotide sequence or a database of nucleotide sequences. This is useful when trying to determine the evolutionary relationships among different organisms (see Comparing two or more sequences below).

  8. May 3, 2021 · BLAST stands for Basic Local Alignment Search Tool. It is a local alignment algorithm-based tool used for aligning multiple sequences and finding similarities or dissimilarities among various species. In this article, we will explain different kinds of BLAST tools and how does BLAST algorithm works.
