What is BLAST?
BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) is a suite of algorithms used for comparing nucleotide or protein sequences to sequence databases. It identifies regions of similarity between the query sequence and sequences in the database. This information can be used to infer functional and evolutionary relationships, identify members of gene families, and more. It's widely used in bioinformatics.
What other technologies are related to BLAST?
BLAST Competitor Technologies
BLAST Complementary Technologies
GATK
GATK (Genome Analysis Toolkit) is a software toolkit for variant discovery in high-throughput sequencing data; it can be used in conjunction with BLAST for downstream analysis, such as variant calling, making them complementary.
NCBI
NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information) is a major resource for biological databases and tools, including BLAST. BLAST is one of the tools provided by NCBI, thus complementary.
samtools
Samtools is a suite of programs for interacting with high-throughput sequencing data. It is commonly used in pipelines alongside BLAST for managing and manipulating alignment data, and is therefore complementary.
