+Legacy BLAST Command Line Applications
+
+The NCBI Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) finds regions of
+local similarity between sequences. The program compares nucleotide or
+protein sequences to sequence databases and calculates the statistical
+significance of matches. BLAST can be used to infer functional and
+evolutionary relationships between sequences as well as help identify
+members of gene families.
+
+This just repackages the binaries provided from upstream.
