This white paper explores the challenges faced by researchers seeking to perform "database-vs-database" sequence searches while relying on traditional bioinformatics processes. By virtualizing access to primary bioinformatics resources-compute power, database management, network management, algorithms — researchers and IP professionals are then freed to focus on sequence search and analysis without the wait.
BLAST is effective in some sequence searches, but not all. This informative white paper explains why BLAST falls short on short sequence searches, and presents alternatives to BLAST that overcome these limitations and deliver accurate, definitive short sequence results in minutes.
This compelling paper identifies 10 surprisingly common — yet often unrecognized — sequence search mistakes. It also gives valuable insight on how to prevent them in order to improve and accelerate your research initiatives.
Searching for short sequences using BLAST can produce an overwhelming amount of irrelevant results. Watch GenomeQuest overcome the challenges of getting fast, definitive short sequences search results.
