General parameters General parameters


The statistical significance threshold for reporting matches. Lowest values are the most stringent.

The length of the seed that initiates an alignment.

The length of the seed that initiates an alignment.

The length of the seed that initiates an alignment.

The length of the seed that initiates an alignment.

Maximum number of aligned sequences to display

Scoring parameters Scoring parameters


First number is the reward when two aligned nucleotides match.
Second number is the penalty when two aligned nucleotides are different.

First number is the reward when two aligned nucleotides match.
Second number is the penalty when two aligned nucleotides are different.

Substitution matrix for scoring any pair of residues.
BLOSUM45 or PAM70 are for more divergent sequences. BLOSUM80 or PAM30 are for less divergent sequences.

Penalties when opening and extending a gap in each alignment.

Penalties when opening and extending a gap in each alignment.

Matrix adjustment method to compensate for amino acid composition of sequences.

Matrix adjustment method to compensate for amino acid composition of sequences.

Filters and masking Filters and masking


Mask off segments of the query sequence that have low compositional complexity.

Mask only when finding alignment seeds, not during extension.

Filter regions in lower case in query sequence.
