The NCBI has activated a new URL for BLAST searches at the NCBI: http://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. Searches sent to this URL can take advantage of a larger number of machines for searches and the system has a better overall fault tolerance. We recommend migration of all BLAST links and bookmarks (e.g., http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/BLAST/ and http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/bl2seq/wblast2.cgi) to the new URL. Links on the NCBI and BLAST home pages will start to change in the coming weeks. At this point in time the plans are to also maintain the current BLAST URL.
