**Note**. Database searches may take substantial amount of time. For large input datasets it is advisable to allow overnight processing.  

-----

**What it does**

This tool runs **megablast** (for information about megablast, please see the reference below) a high performance nucleotide local aligner developed by Webb Miller and colleagues.

-----

**Output format**

Output of this tool contains 13 columns delimited by Tabs:

1. Id of your sequence 
2. GI of the database hit 
3. Length of the database hit
4. % identity
5. Alignment length
6. # mismatches
7. # gaps
8. Start position in your sequence
9. End position in your sequence
10. Start position in database hit
11. End position in database hit
12. E-value
13. Bit score
