It allows an rigorous search in a reasonable computational time. MPsrch uses an exhaustive algorithm, which is recognised as the most sensitive sequence comparison method available, whereas BLAST and FASTA use a heuristic method. As a consequence, MPsrch is capable of identifying hits in cases where BLAST and FASTA fail and also reports fewer false-positive hits.
