Q110: ABLAST hit with E-value indicates a database match of good... - Molecular Genetics and Bioinformatics - Fish Genetics and Breeding- ICAR JRF/SRF 2024 | Agrigyan

• BLAST Expect Value (E-Value):
• The E-value describes the number of hits one can expect to see by chance when searching a database of a particular size.
• lower E-value (closer to zero) indicates a more statistically significant match:
• $E = 1$ or higher: Likely a random chance alignment.
• $E \le 10^{-5}$ to $10^{-10}$ (recorded as $10^{-10}$ / $100(-10)$): Highly significant, authentic biological homology.
• nalysis:
• (10^(-10)): Correct. Indicates a high-confidence, non-random biological alignment.

Correct option: (3) 100(-10)
