An approach for parallelizing the BlastN

BlastN is a well-known and useful tool for sequence alignment. The program works by receiving a DNA sequence query and then comparing the query with all sequences in a DNA database. Because of continuously increase in database size, the response time on a singleprocessor system tends to be longer. This paper presents a new approach for parallelizing the BlastN onto a computer cluster in order to decrease response times without any differences from search results of the original BlastN algorithm. Moreover, the new approach supports more concurrent BlastN users, as well
