Basic Local Alignment Search Tool is a search algorithm developed by Altschul et al. (1990). It is a very fast search algorithm that is used by the blastn, blastp, and blastx programs to separately search protein or DNA databases. BLAST is best used for sequence similarity searching, rather than for motif searching.
