White paper extract
On an overall level, you can say that:
- BLAST is the better in the explorative phases of the research, and Smith
Waterman is the better in the late stages of the research, where absolutely
correct results are more important than estimates.
- If you have query sequence data with too many of inherent errors, BLAST
searches would often be so imprecise that the results are wrong or
misleading.
