What is it about?

We created a simple tool to make it easier to use BLAST on private and shared sequence data.

Why is it important?

Because sequencing is now cheap - lots of labs have custom datasets. Additionally, even for published datasets, using a centralised website can be a burden (e.g. waiting for a queue), or it can be difficult to subset the reference data exactly the way you need it. The software we created makes all this much easier.
