Background: Large-scale sequence comparison is a powerful tool for biological inference in modern molecular biology. Comparing new sequences to those in annotated databases is a u...
Background: With the exponential increase in genomic sequence data there is a need to develop automated approaches to deducing the biological functions of novel sequences with hig...
There are many bioinformatics tools that deal with input/ output (I/O) issues by using filing systems from the most common operating systems, such as Linux or MS Windows. However, ...
In the life sciences, genomic databases for sequence search have been growing exponentially in size. As a result, faster sequencesearch algorithms to search these databases contin...

Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) is a standard computer application that molecular biologists use to search for sequence similarity in genomic databases. This report desc...
The computational power needed for searching exponentially growing databases, such as GenBank, has increased dramatically. Three different implementations of the most widely used ...
Bioinformaticists use the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) to characterize an unknown sequence by comparing it against a database of known sequences, thus detecting evolu...
