BLAT (bioinformatics) - Wikipedia BLAT can be used to align DNA sequences as well as protein and translated nucleotide (mRNA or DNA) sequences It is designed to work best on sequences with great similarity
Kent Informatics - Tools to analyze the human genome - BLAT, In-Silico . . . BLAT is commonly used to look up the location of a sequence in the genome or determine the exon structure of an mRNA molecule, but expert users can run large batch jobs and make internal parameter sensitivity changes by installing command-line BLAT on their own Linux server
Human BLAT Search BLAT on DNA is designed to quickly find sequences of 95% and greater similarity of length 25 bases or more It may miss more divergent or shorter sequence alignments
Home | BLAT - The BLAST-like Alignment Tool GenomeBLAT, a specialized bioinformatics platform, utilizes the BLAST-like Alignment Tool (BLAT), designed for ultra-fast sequence alignment Unlike traditional BLAST, BLAT is optimized for aligning nucleotide or protein sequences across large genomic datasets with higher speed
BLAT—The BLAST-Like Alignment Tool - Genome Research The client server version of BLAT is used to power untranslated and translated interactive searches on http: genome ucsc edu Researchers all over the world use BLAT to perform thousands of interactive sequence searches per day
Using BLAT to Find Sequence Similarity in Closely Related Genomes The BLAST-Like Alignment Tool (BLAT) is used to find genomic sequences that match a protein or DNA sequence submitted by the user BLAT is typically used for searching similar sequences within the same or closely related species
Genome Browser FAQ - BLAT BLAT is an alignment tool like BLAST, but it is structured differently On DNA, BLAT works by keeping an index of an entire genome in memory Thus, the target database of BLAT is not a set of GenBank sequences, but instead an index derived from the assembly of the entire genome
Blat Spec and Users Guide A normal blat index uses approximately one-quarter of a byte per base For blat on smaller (primer-sized) queries or for in-silico PCR, it is recommended that you use a more thorough index that requires one-half of a byte per base
Genome Browser Users Guide - BLAT If too many BLAT hits occur, try narrowing the search by filtering the sequence in slow mode with RepeatMasker, then rerunning the BLAT search For more information on conducting and fine-tuning BLAT searches, refer to the BLAT section of this document
