+BLAT is a bioinformatics software tool which performs rapid mRNA/DNA
+and cross-species protein alignments. BLAT is more accurate and 500
+times faster than popular existing tools for mRNA/DNA alignments and
+50 times faster for protein alignments at sensitivity settings
+typically used when comparing vertebrate sequences.
