-    Support for a comprehensive set of search algorithms including Smith-Waterman (with affine scoring), ProfileSearch, ProfileScan, Translated Searches, Frame+, ProfileFrame+, HMMsearch, HMMscan, GeneWise

-    Seamless integration with a wide variety of DNA and protein database formats including FASTA, BLAST, GenBank, EMBL, SwissProt, GCG, NBRF, PIR, RAW, IG, PFAM (HMM)

-    Full user control over search parameters such as gap penalties, comparison tables, translation tables, scoring and normalization methods, and others.

-    Multi-query operation enables multiple sequences, or even a database subset, to be submitted as the search query set.

-    Multi-threaded operation enables full utilization of multiprocessor Unix/Linux machines.

-    Band, linear memory alignment algorithm for all search applications, produces fast, accurate alignment, even for very long sequences.

-    Support for multiple normalization methods enables customizing the software output for specific research projects.

With free download license for academic and research institutes, and reasonably priced license for commercial entities, Biocceleration enables existing Bioccelerator customers (BioXL/G, BioXL/P, BioXL/H), and new customers, easy upgrade to a new level of database search speed, performance, and flexibility.
