[BiO BB] A question about profile database in psi-blast.

[Rong Chen]

Hi,

Normally, we align a profile against a sequence database in psi-blast. I
heard that we could also cat all profiles to create a database, and align
a sequence against this profile database. Did anyone hear anything about
it? Is it a new program or a new option in psi-blast?

Thank you.

Rong
