Set up a BLAST search. Using the sequences in human.fa (http://www.cs.miami.edu/home/wuchtys/CSC549_18F/human.fa) find the most homologous sequences to each human sequence in mouse. You need to: set up a Python code that parses the human sequences, iterates through each sequence, searches a database with BLAST and prints the human sequence ID, the mouse ID of the most similar homolog and the alignment, E-value and bitscore to a file of your choice. Furthermore, you need to explain the choice of the (i) database you want to search, (ii) blast program, (iii) substitution matrix and (iv) choice of parameters.
