Interpreting the results of BLAST2 EVEC
¥ Here you will see that the alignments are very short, and also contain gaps in the alignment (No ÒIÓ symbol joining the upper and lower sequence). This is obviously not a good match and can be ignored which is probably a result of similar functional domains being present in the query sequence and in the entry in the vector database.

¥ You should now be convinced that sequence 1 is contaminated with vectors and sequence 2 is clean of vectors.
¥
¥ Sequence 1 will need to have the sequence code trimmed before it becomes useful.
