The 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.

This package is built using SPACK and optimized for AVX, AVX2 and AVX512 CPUs. To use the optimized version, you need to add source /etc/profile.d/zlmod.sh to your submit script before loading any modules. By default, the AVX2 optimized version (head node is Haswell CPU) is in your path. The AVX2 optimized version will run on Skylake (enge, im2080, chem, health) and Cascade Lake (hawkcpu, hawkmem, hawkgpu, infolab) CPUs but not on Ivybridge (debug) CPUs. |
