Abstract

BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) is by far the most widely used application for rapid screening of large sequence databases. This paper describes TurboBLAST, a parallel implementation of BLAST suitable for execution on networked clusters of heterogeneous PCs, workstations, or Macintosh computers.
