| Abstract: | BackgroundThe BLAST algorithm compares biological sequences to one another in order to determine shared motifs and common ancestry. However, the comparison of all non-redundant (NR) sequences against all other NR sequences is a computationally intensive task. We developed NBLAST as a cluster computer implementation of the BLAST family of sequence comparison programs for the purpose of generating pre-computed BLAST alignments and neighbour lists of NR sequences. |
