  BLAT is a bioinformatics software tool which performs rapid mRNA/DNA
  and cross-species protein alignments. BLAT is more accurate and 500
  times faster than popular existing tools for mRNA/DNA alignments and 50
  times faster for protein alignments at sensitivity settings typically
  used when comparing vertebrate sequences. (Source: Kent, W.J. 2002. BLAT
  -- The BLAST-Like Alignment Tool. Genome Research 4: 656-664.

  BLAT is not BLAST. DNA BLAT works by keeping an index of the entire
  genome (but not the genome itself) in memory. Since the index takes up a
  bit less than a gigabyte of RAM, BLAT can deliver high performance on a
  reasonably priced Linux box.
