From: Estimating overannotation across prokaryotic genomes using BLAST+, UBLAST, LAST and BLAT

Figure 1

Ten-genomes experiment. (A) UBLAST, LAST and BLAT ran in less than a hundredth of the time as NCBI’s BLAST, with LAST running the fastest; (B) All these programs matched fewer genome proteins to proteins in the SwissProt database than BLAST+, with BLAT showing the lowest numbers and the highest variation; (C) UBLAST produced the most similar overannotation estimates to those produced by BLAST+, while BLAT produced the most dissimilar ones. Filtering the SwissProt database at different identity thresholds did not have much of an effect in speed or in overannotation estimates.
