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.

Using BLAST

To initialize the environment use the module command:

# setup PATH and BLASTDB=/software/blast/db
module load maxwell blast

# run a simple query
blastp -db swissprot -query T1050.fasta -out results.out


The Installation contains blast+, a selection of databases and
