TREP, the TRansposable Elements Platform
Programs available for BLAST searches
The NCBI BLAST family of programs includes:
- blastn
- compares a nucleotide query sequence against a nucleotide sequence database
- blastx
- compares a nucleotide query sequence translated in all reading frames against a protein sequence database
- blastp
- compares an amino acid query sequence against a protein sequence database
- tblastn
- compares a protein query sequence against a nucleotide sequence database dynamically translated in all reading frames
- tblastx
- compares the six-frame translations of a nucleotide query sequence against the six-frame translations of a nucleotide sequence database. Please note that tblastx program cannot be used with the nr database on the BLAST Web page.
