AB  - The Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) is one of the widest used and most 
      useful applications in sequence-based bioinformatics analysis. Frequently it is 
      not practical or possible to use remote BLAST services through the Internet due 
      to restrictions of a security or technical nature or the need for high-throughput 
      analysis requiring greater amounts of processing power than are available from 
      remote services. This unit describes the steps involved in obtaining and 
      installing a copy of the BLAST software for use on a local intranet or 
      stand-alone workstation. Once installed, the BLAST package can be used to create 
      BLAST-searchable nucleotide and protein sequence databanks. Various popular 
      hardware (PPC, Intel) and operating system (MacOSX, FreeBSD and Linux) options 
      for running and maintaining the software are discussed. Finally, steps for 
      indexing proprietary and third party (publicly available) sequence databanks for 
      use with BLAST and managing these resources are discussed.
