NCBI BLAST
Advanced Techniques for Searching BLAST

Learn how to use BLAST as an experimental tool.  We will cover the 
use of filters as BLAST tools and contrast them with the use of 
PHI-BLAST.  We will learn about substitution matrices and how the 
PSSM relates to PSI-BLAST.  We will discuss how to avoid doing a 
BLAST search and obtain more information than if you had done one.
