-BLAST+ Command Line Applications
-
-The NCBI Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) finds regions of
-local similarity between sequences. The program compares nucleotide or
-protein sequences to sequence databases and calculates the statistical
-significance of matches. BLAST can be used to infer functional and
-evolutionary relationships between sequences as well as help identify
-members of gene families.
-
-BLAST+ is a new suite of BLAST tools that utilizes the NCBI C++
-Toolkit. The BLAST+ applications have a number of performance and
-feature improvements over the legacy BLAST applications (ncbi-blast).
-
-For details and citation, please see the BLAST+ user manual from the
-program's web site and the article in BMC Bioinformatics.
-
-This just repackages the binaries provided from upstream.
-
-NOTE ABOUT x86:
-Since version 2.2.31, NCBI does not provide 32-bit executables of
-BLAST+ for Linux. Their reasoning is that the limited memory and
-processing power of 32-bit systems is not suitable for the large
-databases searched by BLAST.
