Publisher's description
From Washington University in St. Louis :Faster at any sensitivity, more sensitive at any speed, WU-BLAST is the original BLAST with gapped alignments and statistics, supporting virtually unlimited size sequences, unlimited size databases and more important features for the power user than ever before. Gapped alignments and Sum statistics in all search modes (BLASTP, BLASTN, BLASTX, TBLASTN, TBLASTX), segmented sequences, and much more.
Supports any PowerPC G-series processor, as well as Intel i386, and threads searches across multiple processors on dual G4 and G5 systems.
Free license for academic and nonprofit use.
What's new in this version:
More effective use of memory and processors by the 64-bit binaries running on multi-processor (or multi-core) G5 systems configured with more than 2-3 GB memory.
The "span" and "span1" options had no effect, if the "stats" option was also specified on the command line.
When the "nogaps" option was specified, nonsensical values for X, E2 and S2 were mistakenly reported in the Parameters section for the irrelevant case of gapped alignments.
