Genome Workbench 2.10.7 is here! New features include added support for local custom BLAST databases and improvements to Tree View.

Suppose we wanted to do something with all this BLAST output. Generally, that’s the case - you want to retrieve all matches, or do a reciprocal BLAST, or something. As with most programs that run on UNIX, the text output is in some specific...

The main advance is the ability to provide usage reports to NCBI to help us improve BLAST.

The Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) is a powerful bioinformatics program used to compare an input sequence (such as DNA, RNA, or protein sequences) against a database of sequences to find regions of similarity.
