Last¶
LAST finds similar regions between sequences. The main difference between LAST and BLAST and similar tools (e.g. BLAT, LASTZ, YASS) is that it copes more efficiently with repeat-rich sequences (e.g. genomes). For example, it can align reads to genomes without repeat-masking and without becoming overwhelmed by repetitive hits.
