CAST 1.2.2 – Compression-accelerated BLAST and BLAT

CAST 1.2.2

:: DESCRIPTION

CAST is a set of tools that compress data in a way that allows direct computation on the compressed data. Compression-accelerated BLAST (CaBLAST) and Compression-accelerated BLAT (CaBLAT) are two prototype implementations of alignment and sequence search algorithms that apply “compressive genomics” : i.e., they exploit redundancy in genomic data sets by compressing data in a way that allows direct computation on the compressed data.
