Sequence Search

Sequence search is a method of searching similarities between a query sequence and sequences in database by using alignment. Similarities between the query sequence and a sequence of known function from the sequence database can help identify the function of the query sequence and potentially how to regulate it.

Heuristic

Optimized for GPU-enabled , ,

A GPU-accelerated and re-factored BLAST algorithm for protein sequence search on NVIDIA GPUs that delivers an additional 1.9-fold speedup over the fastest existing GPU-implemented BLAST.

Optimized for , ,

An accelerated, database-indexed BLAST algorithm for protein sequence search on multicore CPUs.

Optimized for , , ,

A freely available, open-source, parallel implementation of NCBI BLAST, which scales from laptops and desktops to servers and supercomputer.

Optimized for , ,

A scripting-based approach to BLAST that significantly accelerates performance by only searching on a representative fraction, i.e., centroid, of the original database.

Optimal
