Subject: [blast-announce] BLAST-Announce #056] BLAST 2.2.15 released
Date: Fri, 20 Oct 2006 08:37:34 -0400
Notes for the 2.2.15 release
BLAST 2.2.15 is now available from the BLAST download page.
Major changes include:
* BLAST now uses a 28-letter protein alphabet supporting the J
(leucine or isoleucine) and O (pyrrolysine) residues.
* formatrpsdb will now generate RPS blast databases that assume a
28-letter alphabet. These databases are incompatible with rpsblast
versions older than 2.2.15.
* blastpgp can now combine the e-value from the alignment with a
p-value determined by the composition to yield a unified e-value that is
ultimately used to evaluate the significance of alignments. This
behavior can be enabled with the -t 1u or -t 2u options.
* megablast now supports incremental ASN.1 output. This behavior can
be enabled with the -D 4 and -D 5 options.
* BLAST binaries are now available for Windows XP/2003 x64 edition.
* blastx searches are now significantly faster for queries exceeding
10kbp in length.
* seedtop can now perform pattern searches even if the pattern is
considered too likely to occur. This behavior can be enabled with the -f
option.
* BLAST now natively supports the BLOSUM50 and BLOSUM90 score
matrices.
* BLAST now correctly handles databases restricted by gi lists even
if no sequences will be searched.
* blastall now prints a header for each query even if queries have
been concatenated.
