Please use the new documentation url https://docs.rc.uab.edu/ for all Research Computing documentation needs.


As a result of this move, we have deprecated use of this wiki for documentation. We are providing read-only access to the content to facilitate migration of bookmarks and to serve as an historical record. All content updates should be made at the new documentation site. The original wiki will not receive further updates.

Thank you,

Introduction

BLAST stands for Basic Local Alignment Search Tool. BLAST is a search tool to find gene sequences i.e., DNA, RNA, proteins, from gene databases. DynamicBLAST is a grid-version of BLAST, developed to facilitate BLAST workflows on the grid. The Computer Science Department of UAB has done considerable work in DynamicBLAST.
