SCANPS version 2 is a sequence database searching program that implements a range of sensitive algorithms for searching protein
sequence databases. It has been optimised to run on Linux PC farms.
SCANPS is a program for rigorous database scanning using a derivative of the Smith-Waterman algorithm. It is fast
enough to use routinely on a workstation and is currently available in binary form for Sun and Silicon Graphics. You can download the package from our distribution page. See Barton (1992a) and here,
for a short discussion of computer speed and database size.
