Bioinformatic Tools -- BLAST FAQ
http://biotech.fyicenter.com/resource/blast_faq.html

What's BLAST?

The Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) finds regions of local
similarity between sequences. The program compares nucleotide or
protein sequences to sequence databases and calculates the statistical
significance of matches. BLAST can be used to infer functional and
evolutionary relationships between sequences as well as help identify
members of gene families.

Job Responsibilities

Yesterday was a Tail of Two Common Snapping Turtles:
Does DEC need/want to know where turtle clutches are laid? It does
not look like the Common Snapper is on NY DEC's Endangered or
Protected list.
1st Turtle was near Baldwinsville NY next to the Seneca river.
I was driving on Rt 48 and saw this big turtle in the middle of the
road. It was a very busy road.
I turn the car around and parked to see if I could get it out of
the road before it was run over.
There was already a woman there looking for a big stick - which she
found.
I went to get my camera and as I can back she had gotten the turtle
to walk out of the road.
We could see that she had laid eggs right next to the road, but not
far from the river.
The woman left but I was still worried as the turtle was originally
going the other direction and I was sure it would try going back
across the road.
Now this was a Snapper - a Big snapper. her shell is about 14
inches long. I later saw just how large her mouth was! ...
