BLAST. Results' characteristics

As it can be seen from Table 1, searching with the standart parameters resulted in 100 finds where all had E-value 0.0. However, after changing parameters the amount of homologous with E-value lower than 0.001 decreased (not all had such low E parameter)

From Table 2 it can be seen that after changing word-length from 6 to 2 the amount of finds with E-value lower than 0.001 decreased while the max E-value increased.

After changing bank size, having limited it by 'Proteobacteria' organism, E-value decreased which confermed the hypothesis of reduction E-value with decrease of bank size.
