 ElasticBLAST is a cloud-based tool to perform your BLAST searches faster and make you more effective.
 
 ElasticBLAST is ideal for users who have a large number (thousands or more) of queries to BLAST or who prefer to use cloud infrastructure for their searches. It can run BLAST searches that cannot be done on `NCBI WebBLAST <https://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi>`_ and runs them more quickly than stand-alone `BLAST+ <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK279690/>`_.
