Bell Laboratories Layer Space-Time (BLAST) is a transceiver architecture for offering spatial multiplexing over multiple-antenna wireless communication systems. Such systems have multiple antennas at both the transmitter and the receiver in an effort to exploit the many different paths between the two in a highly- scattering wireless environment.
A BLAST variant called MegaBLAST indexes 4 databases to speed up alignments. [ 9 ] BLAT can extend on multiple perfect and near-perfect matches (default is 2 perfect matches of length 11 for nucleotide searches and 3 perfect matches of length 4 for protein searches), while BLAST extends only when one or two matches occur close together.
In cell biology, precursor cells—also called blast cells—are partially differentiated, or intermediate, and are sometimes referred to as progenitor cells. A precursor cell is a stem cell with the capacity to differentiate into only one cell type, meaning they are unipotent stem cells .
In bioinformatics, BLAST (basic local alignment search tool) [3] is an algorithm and program for comparing primary biological sequence information, such as the amino-acid sequences of proteins or the nucleotides of DNA and/or RNA sequences.
Blast cell or precursor cell, in cytology, a type of partially differentiated, usually unipotent cell; Blast disease, a disease of cereal crops; Blast injury, a complex type of physical trauma resulting from direct or indirect exposure to an explosion; BLAST network, a proposed rapid transit system for Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
A comprehensive diagram of human hematopoiesis. Granulopoiesis consists of 5 stages, in which the myeloblast is the first recognizable cell. Next in the differentiation sequence is the monoblast and the promyelocyte, which can develop into one of three different precursor cells: the neutrophilic, basophilic or eosinophilic myelocyte.
StemCell Technologies Canada Inc. (formerly known as StemCell Technologies Inc.) is a Canadian biotechnology company that develops and manufactures cell culture media and cell separation technologies for use in stem cell, immunology, and cancer research.
The generated BLASTx output is then taken as input by the SOrt-ITEMS program. The method uses a range of BLAST alignment parameter thresholds to first identify an appropriate taxonomic level (or rank) where the read can be assigned. An orthology-based approach is then adopted for the final assignment of the metagenomic read.
