What is BLAST ✅

Basic Local Alignment Search Tools

The algorithm for comparing primary biological sequence information such as protein, DNA & RNA

Provides a series of databases related to biomedicine and biotechnology.

Protein

Bookshelf

SNP

BLAST

Nucleotide

Genome

PUBMED

Gene

Focuses on life sciences and biomedical sciences

Can be access by everyone

Collection of sequences from many databases

Focuses on genome, gene and transcript sequences

physical mapping, functional analysis, pharmacogenomics, association studies, and evolutionary studies

consist of collection of sequences from several sources such as translations from annotated coding regions

Give in-depth information about article that is searched and the ones relating to it

Gives access to books and documents on biomedical science

Used to differentiate sequences of protein or nucleotide into sequence database

calculate the significance of statistic of matches

Focuses on genomes such as sequences, chromosomes, maps and assemblies

Gives information involving nomenclature, variations and maps
