Getting started
Search utilities
  •     bl2seq - given two sequences in FASTA format, find regions of local similarity
  •     blastall - given sequences in FASTA format, find similar sequences in a BLAST database
  •     megablast - compare highly similar nucleotide sequences
Advanced utilities
  •     blastpgp - create protein profiles with position-specific iterative BLAST, or search protein databases using pattern-hit-initiated BLAST
  •     seedtop - search BLAST databases using PROSITE patterns
  •     rpsblast - search an RPSBLAST database using the BLAST algorithm
  •     blastclust - automatic sequence clustering
  •     impala - search an RPSBLAST database using the Smith-Waterman algorithm (deprecated)
Network utilities
  •     netblast - perform BLAST searches using the servers and databases at NCBI
  •     wwwblast - set up your own BLAST web server
  •     web_blast.pl - blast web service interface example
  •     update_blastdb.pl - Download pre-formatted BLAST databases from NCBI
Sequence manipulation utilities
  •     fastacmd - retrieve FASTA sequences from BLAST databases
  •     formatdb - create BLAST databases from FASTA sequences
  •     makemat / copymat - convert a set of profiles into an RPSBLAST database (deprecated)
  •     formatrpsdb - create an RPSBLAST database from sequences in Score-matrix-parameters format

Glossary
  •     filtering - a process by which low complexity regions are masked from query sequences; see the documentation on filter strings.
  •     profile - A position-specific scoring matrix (PSSM) created by position-specific iterated BLAST (psiblast).
  •     FASTA - Originally a protein alignment algorithm, in this context FASTA refers to an uncompressed text representation of nucleotide or protein sequence data.
  •     BLAST database - A set of protein or nucleotide sequences in a format suitable for efficient searching.
  •     RPSBLAST database - A set of profiles in a format suitable for efficient searching.
