title: BLAST Search Updater: a notification system for new database matches.
abstract: BLAST Search Updater (BSU) can help molecular biologists perform large numbers of BLAST searches routinely and screen the results for novel matches. The search result files (HTML format) and delta files (novel matches) are WWW viewable and BSU also emails users alignments of new matches.
  
  
  BACKGROUND
