[BiO BB] paper

[Marcos Oliveira de Carvalho]

Dear all,

Looking some papers about phylogenomic methods I found this reference:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=15166018&query_hl=48

However, in the paragraph below, I was very confused:

"More precisely, GBDP starts with an all-against-all pairwise
comparison of genomes using BLASTN (Altschul et al., 1990).
In a second step, a distance matrix is calculated from the
resulting HSPs **(High Speed Products)**.
Here, we studied a number of variants which are described in detail
below..."

High Speed Products?

I wonder they are not talking about "high score segment pairs" (HSSPs also  
abbreviated as HSPs).


cheers
