Washington University BLAST (WU BLAST) version 2.0 is a powerful
|
|
software package for gene and protein identification, using sensitive,
|
|
selective and rapid similarity searches of protein and nucleotide
|
|
sequence databases. WU BLAST 2.0 builds upon WU BLAST 1.4, which in turn
|
|
was based on the public domain NCBI BLAST version 1.4. While NCBI BLAST
|
|
and WU BLAST 1.4 are in the public domain, WU BLAST 2.0 contains
|
|
significant new features and extended capabilities, the development of
|
|
which began in late 1994, at Washington University in Saint Louis. First
|
|
released in May 1996, or more than a year ahead of the NCBI, WU BLAST
|
|
2.0 is the original gapped BLAST with statistics and is known for
|
|
setting higher standards for sensitivity, speed, correctness and
|
|
accuracy, scalability and reliability than competing programs and
|
|
implementations. WU BLAST is neither a re-hashed nor "Mac-ified" version
|
|
of NCBI BLAST, although WU BLAST in many ways is easier to use. WU BLAST
|
|
essentially shares no code with NCBI BLAST, except for portions that
|
|
both packages derived from ungapped NCBI BLAST 1.4.
