BLAT is a bioinformatics software tool which performs rapid mRNA/DNA
|
|
and cross-species protein alignments. BLAT is more accurate and 500
|
|
times faster than popular existing tools for mRNA/DNA alignments and 50
|
|
times faster for protein alignments at sensitivity settings typically
|
|
used when comparing vertebrate sequences. (Source: Kent, W.J. 2002. BLAT

BLAT is not BLAST. DNA BLAT works by keeping an index of the entire
|
|
genome (but not the genome itself) in memory. Since the index takes up a
|
|
bit less than a gigabyte of RAM, BLAT can deliver high performance on a
|
|
reasonably priced Linux box.
