  1. # HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
  2. # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
  3. # Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
  4. # the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
  5. # You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
  6. # customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.

  10. ncbi-blast: The Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) finds regions of
  11. ncbi-blast: local similarity between sequences. The program compares nucleotide
  12. ncbi-blast: or protein sequences to sequence databases and calculates the
  13. ncbi-blast: statistical significance of matches. BLAST can be used to infer
  14. ncbi-blast: functional and evolutionary relationships between sequences as well
  15. ncbi-blast: as help identify members of gene families.
