In the context of bioinformatics, BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) is used to compare an input biological sequence (DNA, RNA, or protein) against a database of sequences to identify similarities. It helps in finding homologous sequences, which can provide insights into function, structure, and evolutionary relationships. Users can expect results that include alignment scores, statistical significance, and potential matches, allowing for further analysis of the biological relevance of the sequence.
