[Bioperl-l] Blasting 100kb against dbEST?

[Chris Fields]

I have locally run ~100kb fragments before (BLASTN) w/o problems off  
my first-gen MacBook, but this was against a small database.  If you  
need to iterate through the sequence in chunks you can specify start/ 
stop with -L, so the hits/HSPs will be mapped accordingly (instead of  
starting from 1).

Also, mpiBLAST appears to segment queries:
