Post mortem
Like all the scenarios, this one ends with a specific mystery
and a general problem:
Mystery
Why isn't Blast working the way I can see that it should?
Problem
How do you align sequences using Blast and know what you're doing.
And, like all the scenarios, this one provides the tools for
its solution:
Blast
Basic local alignment sequence tool.
A tool to find matching regions between two sequences that may share
limited similarity.
Homegrown Blast
You will write part of the program yourself, so that you can play
with it and understand its guts. In this way, you will learn its
power and its limitations. |
