What is PSI-BLAST for Protein Sequence Analysis about?

This document describes an experiment using PSI-BLAST to uncover distant relationships between proteins. PSI-BLAST iteratively constructs a position-specific scoring matrix from BLAST alignments to detect more distant homologs than standard BLAST. The experiment uses PSI-BLAST to search a protein database starting from a query protein, running multiple iterations until no new related sequences are found. This allows detection of relationships between proteins that diverged over 1-2.5 billion years ago, avoi
