A/G BLAST

A/G BLAST for G4/G5

Apple/Genentech (A/G) BLAST is an enhanced, platform-specific optimization of NCBI's standalone Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) developed by Apple's Advanced Computation Group. In particular, we have enhanced BLASTn (which finds similarities between nucleotide sequences) for the PowerPC G4/G5 processors and Mac OS X

A/G BLAST source code is available in the Public Domain.
