BLAST screenshot

The BLAST toolkit helps one compare 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.

Search utilities: · bl2seq - given two sequences in FASTA format, find regions of local similarity · blastall - given sequences in FASTA format, find similar sequences in a BLAST database · megablast - compare highly similar nucleotide sequences

Advanced utilities: · blastpgp - create protein profiles with position-specific iterative BLAST, or search protein databases using pattern-hit-initiated BLAST · seedtop - search BLAST databases using PROSITE patterns · rpsblast - search an RPSBLAST database using the BLAST algorithm · blastclust - automatic sequence clustering · impala - search an RPSBLAST database using the Smith-Waterman algorithm (deprecated)

Network utilities: · netblast - perform BLAST searches using the servers and databases at NCBI · wwwblast - set up your own BLAST web server · web_blast.pl - blast web service interface example · update_blastdb.pl - Download pre-formatted BLAST databases from NCBI

Sequence manipulation utilities: · fastacmd - retrieve FASTA sequences from BLAST databases · formatdb - create BLAST databases from FASTA sequences · makemat / copymat - convert a set of profiles into an RPSBLAST database (deprecated) · formatrpsdb - create an RPSBLAST database from sequences in Score-matrix-parameters format

What's new in BLAST 2.3.0:

  • This new version includes a beta release of SAM format as well as support for single-file mode for the BLAST XML2 and JSON formats. Single-file mode means that results are delivered as a single-file regardless of the number of queries. A number of other improvements and bug fixes are also included.
  • New features:
  • Added new PSIBLAST command line options to support saving PSSM and checkpoint files for each iteration and calculate checkpoint and PSSM for the last iteration.
