As stated on June 26, Web and stand-alone BLAST are now available on Amazon Web Services (AWS).

On July 30, 2014, NCBI will offer a Webinar entitled “BLAST in the Cloud”. This presentation will show you how to log on to AWS and deploy the NCBI-BLAST Amazon Machine Image (AMI) quickly. The BLAST AMI includes the BLAST+ applications, a client that can download databases from the NCBI, a Web application that implements a subset of the NCBI URL API, and a simplified BLAST search Web page. Prior knowledge of using Web and standalone BLAST is required.
