Dr. Rob Edwards from San Diego State University describes the difference between blastn, blastx, blastp, tblastn, and tblastx for BLAST, the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool
It is a result of the 3 different reading frames in the DNA strand when translating to a protein, but the algorithm also searches in the complementary strand, so you get a total of 6 possible different reading frames.
Very good explanation and easy to follow/understand. Thanks a lot!
thank you for this descriptive explanation. its really helpul
Best explanation i have seen...thx
thx
Why is there 6 reading frames to be translated? (I know the answer to this is going to be obvious, but I'm just a bit confused 😅)
