Blastn results of Optitype sequences against Optitype database (l) and Polysolver sequences against Polysolver database (r). In the plots we can observe that the identity within Optitype is higher than within Polysolver. This stems from the nature of the database. Optitype relies on a database with exons 2 and 3 and reconstructed introns, which produces sequences with scarce variation. As expected, Polysolver, due to including genomic sequences, has more variance in the identity within sequences. The self-blasted results (i.e. Sequence A against itself) were removed from the analysis
