Basic Local Alignment Search Tool - BLAST 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 (biotechnology) - Wikipedia BLAST (biotechnology) In bioinformatics, BLAST (basic local alignment search tool) [3] is an algorithm and program for comparing primary biological sequence information, such as the amino-acid sequences of proteins , nucleotides of DNA and or RNA sequences
NCBI Bioinformatics Resources: An Introduction: BLAST: Compare . . . BLASTp (Protein BLAST): compares one or more protein query sequences to a subject protein sequence or a database of protein sequences This is useful when trying to identify a protein (see From sequence to protein and gene below)
BLAST Quick Start - National Library of Medicine Descriptions shows database matches sorted by significance (BLAST Score and Expect value) BLAST Score — the sum of the match scores (positive), mismatch and gap penalties (negative) in the BLAST aligment
Telangana pharma factory blast: What caused the explosion that killed . . . What triggered the deadly blast at the Telangana chemical factory? Preliminary investigations suggest that a sudden pressure build-up inside a spray-drying unit may have caused the massive explosion at the Sigachi Industries factory
