Bill Pearson, for reasons of modesty, did not give sufficient praise to
the FASTA suite of programs (including TFASTA).  These comparison programs
are easy to use, flexible in application, make very few "assumptions" about
the sequences to be compared, have unparalleled support (Bill is just an e-mail
away and usually answers within a day), and are amazingly fast.  We have tried
most of the search programs and have never found any with the overall power
and speed of the FASTA series.
