The reads with an E-value of less than 1E-10 for the best hit were labeled as hypothetical viral reads. Finally, the putative viral reads were queried against the NT database (downloaded on October 12 ...

I've been using mmseqs2 a lot, and one of its uses is an alternative to blastn. Indeed, the idea of prefiltering hits, especially for large k values, makes a lot of sense as it decreases the run time ...

After noticing similar errors in another 25 papers, Byrne and Labbé developed the Seek & Blastn tool to discover more papers with incorrectly identified nucleotide fragments. The software ...

I downloaded the latest master version today of LTR_retriever and am trying to run it with my plant genome sequence with LTR_retriever -genome genome.fasta -inharvest genome.ltrharvest.scn -infinder ...

BLAST is one of the most popular sequence analysis tools used by molecular biologists. It is designed to efficiently find similar regions between two sequences that have biological significance.

The canonical bioinformatics application is determining the biological similarity of a new sequence (protein or DNA) with respect to databases of known sequences. The BLAST algorithm is used for the ...

FASTA and WU-BLASTN's +5/−4 system is optimal for detecting homologous DNA alignments that are only 65% identical—at the edge of the 'twilight zone' for gapped alignment methods' ability to ...
