SRA-BLAST has undergone a dramatic update, both in terms of user interface and search performance.
SRA-BLAST now includes:
* Targeted searching within one or more SRA Experiment sets (i.e., "SRX accessions"). Users may now search combined datasets of up to 2 billion individual reads.
* An "autocomplete" feature that will allow users to specify SRX accession, SRX title, organism scientific name, or tax id to help build the search set.
* Data obtained from Roche 454 and newer Illumina instruments (HiSeq and MiSeq) are now included in the SRA-BLAST database, owing to longer read lengths from these technologies.
These updates to SRA-BLAST make it an even more useful tool for searching through more than 700 trillion open-access bases currently housed within the SRA.
