Hi All,
I wanted to know the difference between HSPs and MSP in BLAST. Do multiple HSPs make up an MSP?
Secondly if two sequences (One query and another subject) have 2 HSPs/MSPs between them (HSPs are at two different locations), can I join the two HSPs/MSPs and say that the query covers [ (length(HSP1)+length(HSP2))/subject_length ] portion of the subject.
Finding it a little difficult to understand.
thanks
Abhijit
