所以,在选择的时候根据你提交的序列和搜索的目的进行选择,如果是想看这段序列在数据库当中是否有收录,可以用megablast,如果想用其他物 种的基因注释信息来注释一个未注释物种的序列,可以选择discontiguous megablast,如果想得到更多更全面的结果,可以选择blastn。
说完blastn,接着说blastp~blsatp中也有三个不同的算法可以选择,如下:
blastp (protein-protein BLAST)就是简单地进行蛋白与蛋白的比对,寻找蛋白质相似序列;
PSI-BLAST (Position-Specific Iterated BLAST)叫做位点特异性迭代比对,它在蛋白质数据库中循环搜索查询蛋白质,所有前一次被psi-blast发现的统计显著蛋白质序列将整合成新记分矩 阵,通过多次迭代比对,直到不再发现统计显著的新蛋白质;
PHI-BLAST (Pattern Hit Initiated BLAST)可以在搜索的时候限定蛋白质的模式(pattern),只给出包含此模式的比对结果。

Blastp/PSI-Blast/PHI-BLAST都是蛋白序列与蛋白序列之间的Blast比对
1,Blastp: 标准的蛋白序列与蛋白序列之间的比对
Standard protein BLAST is designed for protein searches.
Blastp用于确定查询的氨基酸序列在蛋白数据库中找到相似的序列。跟其它的Blast程序一样,目的是要找到相似的区域。
2,PSI-BLAST : 敏感度更高的蛋白序列与蛋白序列之间的比对
PSI-BLAST is designed for more sensitive protein-protein similarity searches.
Position-Specific Iterated (PSI)-BLAST,是一种更加高灵敏的Blastp程序,对于发现远亲物种的相似蛋白或某个蛋白家族的新成员非常有效。当你使用标准的Blastp 比对失败时,或比对的结果仅仅是一些假基因或推测的基因序列时("hypothetical protein" or "similar to..."),你可以选择PSI-BLAST重新试试。
3,PHI-BLAST : 模式发现迭代BLAST
PHI-BLAST can do a restricted protein pattern search.
PHI-BLAST, 模式发现迭代BLAST, 用蛋白查询来搜索蛋白数据库的一个程序。仅仅找出那些查询序列中含有的特殊模式的对齐。
PHI的语法详细介绍看这里:http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/html/PHIsyntax.html megablast的参数设置
