Introduction
In bioinformatics, BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) is an algorithm for comparing primary biological sequence information, such as the amino-acid sequences of proteins or the nucleotides of DNA sequences. A BLAST search enables a researcher to compare a query sequence with a library or database of sequences, and identify library sequences that resemble the query sequence above a certain threshold.
Installed version
The currently installed version is 2.2.26 and version 2.6.0.
Using BEDtools with the HPC Cluster
If you want to find out more about BEDtools on the HPC Cluster, you can use the command
module spider bedtools
This will show you basic informations e.g. a short description and the currently installed version.
To load the module, use the command
module load BEDTools
Always remember: this command is case sensitive!
After loading the module, you can use the program with
bedtools <subcommand> [options]
