Description
WU-Blast is the former Washington University BLAST now provided by the Advanced Biocomputing, LLC.
- most sensitive, fastest and flexible core BLAST engine — target your searches easier and get better results faster
- faster, easier and more robust database management — faster updates leave more time to analyze; robust error checking identifies problems sooner; flexible identifiers improve pipeline design and management
- long-term consistent behavior—drop-in upgrades for over 15 years—avoids wholesale retraining of staff and retuning of analysis pipelines, reduces errors and saves time
- up to twice as fast as NCBI BLAST, yet more sensitive and robust
- no special/expensive hardware requirements or usage restrictions
Environment Modules
Run module spider wublast
to find out what environment modules are available for this application.
System Variables
- HPC_WUBLAST_DIR - installation directory
