Abstract
Summary: We have developed two programs that speed up common bioinformatic applications by spreading them across a UNIX cluster.(1) BLAST.pm, a new module for the ‘MOLLUSC’ package. (2) WRAPID, a simple tool for parallelizing large numbers of small instances of programs such as BLAST, FASTA and CLUSTALW. Availability: The packages were developed in Perl on a 20-node Linux cluster and are provided together with a configuration script and documentation.
