BLAST+ is a software module available on Comet.

BLAST+ overview

To access BLAST+ on Comet, run module load BLAST+. This will load the default version of BLAST+.

An overview of the module information is shown below (module -r spider ^BLAST+$):

BLAST+: BLAST+/2.16.0-gompi-2024a
    Description:
      Basic Local Alignment Search Tool, or BLAST, is an algorithm for comparing primary biological sequence information, such as the
      amino-acid sequences of different proteins or the nucleotides of DNA sequences.

     Other possible modules matches:
        BLAST

    This module can be loaded directly: module load BLAST+/2.16.0-gompi-2024a
