BLAST 1.0 • Features • One hit seeding • Ungapped extension • Pros • More specific searching • Cons • Computational and memory consumption
Index • Introduction • BLAST 1.0 • BLAST 2.0 • Future works • Conclusions
BLAST 2.0 • Features • Two hit seeding • Gapped extension • Pros • Reduced computational and memory consumption • More relevant results • Cons • Less specific searching
BLAST 2.0 – Gapped Extension • Run an ungapped extension (as BLAST 1.0) • If the HSP > Sg • Run a gapped extension • Apply Smith-Waterman algorithm
PSI-BLAST • Features • Use BLAST 2.0 output for building position-specific scoring matrices (PSSM). • Run an iterated variant of BLAST 2.0 to process PSSM. • Different scoring method. • Pros • More sensitivity. • Cons • More computational consumption.
Future Works • High-performance computing. • Medicine Specialized • DNA sequencers
Conclusions • BLAST 2.0 is more optimized than BLAST 1.0, by returning less results but more relevant. • High-performance approaches can optimized seeding and extension stages. • New heuristic models that improve previous techniques.
