"Find the perfect fit for you in your worklife. We offer a novel approach to finding a new job based on how you will spend your time. Be the man!!"

I thought you were getting rid of horrible job descriptions.

you shouldn't dismiss this as an argument over semantics if your understanding of the term differs from researchers' use of the term. if you introduce "a fast tool for XYZ" and researchers understand XYZ to mean A, where you understand it to mean B, then the tool is not useful for researchers to perform what they know as XYZ.

tools like BLAST are extremely sophisticated and have been under development for decades, and I'm fairly confident they've moved past naive string comparisons by now.

Much of the wording on their website is annoyingly imprecise --

it's not a technique; it's just a name for a sequence of n things. Also, I've never seen the 'N' or 'G' capitalized.
