Hi everyone,

I just went through the archives for this list, very interesting topics!

One question I've been trying to answer for a long time now is this:

Is there or is there not a parallel version of blast available
somewhere?

I've noticed some people cut their databases and query sequences to
smaller pieces, with or without overlap, and perform separate blasts.
But how do you put them back together again? And are the results the
same?
