Recently I used NCBI blastp with an AA sequence; the resulting report contained multiple hits in the description field separated by ">" with those hits clearly shown in the alignments section: >gi|1... <description> gi|2... <description> gi|3... <description> followed by alignments involving the query sequence and the HSPs related only with the first hit (gi|1...). What are gi|2, gi|3? I thought they were hits with the same evalue and score of the first hit gi|1. However, it doesn't seem so since looking at the hit list you can find hits with the same evalue and score appearing on different lines. Thanks for any help. Maurizio Strangio
