What is a CPU-hr.?
A CPU-hr. is the aggregate CPU time spent across all machines, rounded up to the nearest hour (e.g., a task running on 1,000 CPUs for one minute = 1,000 CPU minutes or approximately 17 CPU hours, costing you only $17).

Key Features

- Detects local as well as global alignments in nucleotide or protein sequences
- Detects regions of sequence similarity embedded in otherwise unrelated proteins
- Enables the comparison of structure and function
Description
BLAST compares nucleotide or protein sequences to sequence databases and calculates the statistical significance of matches.
