The Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) finds regions of local similarity
between protein or nucleotide sequences. The program compares nucleotide or
protein sequences to sequence in a database and calculates the statistical
significance of the matches. This chapter first provides an introduction to BLAST
and then describes the practical application of different BLAST programs based on
the BLAST Quick Start mini-course (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Class/minicourses). In
each example, emphasis is placed on practical step-by-step procedures, although
relevant theory is also given where it affects the choice of BLAST program,
parameters, and database.
