Are Alignment Lengths Reported In Ncbi Blast+ Results Counting Nucleotides Or Amino Acids?
Very simply, what are the units of the alignment length reported by BLASTX and BLASTP? The units of length are not listed in the output column headings (-outfmt 7) and I have found nothing in the O'Reilly BLAST manual.
It is specifically BLASTX (translated nucleotide query vs protein database) and BLASTP (protein vs protein) for which I need to know this information.
