Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The BLAST suite of programs is commonly used to compare a nucleotide or amino acid sequence to databases from a variety of species in order to identify homologous sequences and gain insights into evolutionary relationships or functional conservation. The other options listed (displaying reading frames, finding tissue expression, analyzing microarray data, and the word "tubulin") are unrelated to BLAST.
