Question

The last step is to perform a statistical evaluation of the final alignment as in BLAST, which produces the E-value.

(a) True

(b) False

I got this question by my college director while I was bunking the class.

This is a very interesting question from FASTA in section Database Similarity Searching of Bioinformatics

Answer 1

The correct answer is (a) True

For explanation I would say: The last step of FASTA is similar to that of BLAST. The determination of E-value is the most important part of the whole analysis as it gives the degree of alignment between the sequences.
