Description
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. See Blast Program Selection Guide and the main blast website for more details.
Required Modules
Serial
- ncbi_blast
System Variables
- HPC_{{#uppercase:blast}}_DIR - installation directory
- BLASTDB - location of the blast databases.
Additional Information
We provide both NCBI BLAST+ and legacy blast binaries through the same modules.
