Greetings, Thank you for web access to BLAT.
According to the 2002 BLAT paper, for the initial match criteria, "nucleotide BLAT uses the two perfect 11-mer match criteria by default." What is the default constraint on the distance between the two perfect 11-mer matches? Is this still the default initial match criteria used by the web version of BLAT? I have a similar question for protein BLAT access via the web. The 2002 paper says the default initial match criteria uses 3 perfect 4-mers. What is the default constraint on the distance between theses 4-mers, and is this still the default initial match criteria used by the web version of protein BLAT?
