FASTA similarity search - Introduction
¥FASTA provides a rapid way to find short stretches of similar sequence and any sequence in a database.
¥
¥This program is much more sensitive than BLAST programs, which is reflected by the length of time required to produce results. FASTA produces optimal local alignment scores for the comparison of the query sequence to every sequence in the database.
