RPS-BLAST (Reverse PSI-BLAST) searches a query sequence against a database of profiles. This is the opposite of PSI-BLAST that searches a profile against a database of sequences, hence the ‘Reverse’. … RPS-BLAST was coded by Sergei Shavirin with some help from Tom Madden.
RPS-BLAST is a variant of the PSI-BLAST program. Whereas PSI-BLAST first builds a PSSM that is used as a query for subsequent database searches, RPS-BLAST uses a protein sequence query to search a database of precalculated PSSMs in a single pass.
