What is FASTA and Smith-Waterman Overview about?
FASTA is a database similarity search tool that uses a hashing strategy to identify matches between sequences through ktups. The process involves constructing lookup tables, scoring alignments, and evaluating statistical significance using E-values and Z-scores. Compared to heuristic methods like BLAST, exhaustive methods such as the Smith-Waterman algorithm offer greater sensitivity, though they are slower and computationally expensive.
