AB  - The computational power needed for searching exponentially growing databases, 
      such as GenBank, has increased dramatically. Three different implementations of 
      the most widely used sequence alignment tool, known as BLAST (Basic Local 
      Alignment Search Tool), are studied for their efficiency on nucleotide-nucleotide 
      comparisons. The performance of these implementations are evaluated using target 
      databases and query sequences of varying lengths and number of entries 
      constructed from human genomic and EST sequences. In general, WU BLAST was found 
      to be most efficient when the database and query composition are unknown. NCBI 
      BLAST appears to work best when the database contains a small number of 
      sequences, while mpiBLAST shows the power of database distribution when the 
      number of bases per target database is large. The optimal number of compute nodes 
      in mpiBLAST varies depending upon the database, yet in the cases studied, remains 
      surprisingly low.
