This program achieves a high level of sensitivity for similarity searching at high speed. This is achieved by performing optimised searches for local alignments using a substitution matrix. The high speed of this program is achieved by using the observed pattern of word hits to identify potential matches before attempting the more time consuming optimised search. The trade-off between speed and sensitivity is controlled by the ktup parameter, which specifies the size of the word. Increasing the ktup decreases the number of background hits. Not every word hit is investigated but instead initially looks for segment’s containing several nearby hits.

Hamish McWilliam (2 months ago)Sequence similarity search using the FASTA suite:

FASTA – protein vs. protein database and nucleotide vs. nucleotide database

FASTX – nucleotide vs. protein database

FASTY – nucleotide vs. protein database

GGSEARCH – protein vs. protein database using Needleman-Wunsch

GLSEARCH – protein vs. protein database using global alignment in the query and local in the match

SSEARCH – protein vs. protein database using Smith-Waterman

TFASTX – protein vs. nucleotide database

TFASTY – protein vs. nucleotide database
