Description:
Perform a sequence similarity search against TC-DB with a query protein.
SSEARCH performs a rigorous Smith-Waterman local alignment between a
protein and a protein database. SSEARCH employs an exhaustive algorithm
whereas BLAST and FASTA use a heuristic methodology. As a consequence
SSEARCH is slower in comparison to either BLAST or FASTA, however what you
lose in speed is regained in sensitivity.
