Basic local alignment search tool.

Journal of molecular biology - 5 Oct 1990

Altschul S F, Gish W, Miller W, Myers E W, Lipman D J

Abstract excerpt

A new approach to rapid sequence comparison, basic local alignment search tool (BLAST), directly approximates alignments that optimize a measure of local similarity, the maximal segment pair (MSP) score. Recent mathematical results on the stochastic properties of MSP scores allow an analysis of t...
