ABSTRACT:
A distributed processing technique and associated method are disclosed for achieving parallel BLAST processing without requiring client systems to have direct access to the entire BLAST sequence database and without requiring significant and complex post-processing steps to obtain desired result data. More generally, a distributed processing technique and associated method are disclosed for analytical processes that require access to a massive database.
