BlastStation2 is an All-in-One solution for BLAST searches.  BLAST is one of the most popular and widely used Bioinformatics applications.  BlastStation2 supports NCBI-Blast, WU-Blast2, and standalone local Blast searches with the same easy-to-use interface.  BlastStation automatically detect and utilizes multi core processors for fast local Blast searches.  For example, Macintosh or PC with Core 2 Duo processor performs local BLAST searches 50 % faster than before.  BlastStation is very effective interface program that makes BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) faster and easier to use.  . 

BlastStation reads and splits whole sets of multi-FASTA data, and then continuously submits each set of data to the BLAST server.  Search results are displayed in both bar graph and summary table format with full Definitions.  Summary tables can be exported in CSV format and transferred to a spreadsheet program.  Perhaps more importantly, BlastStation makes it simple for users to organize search results.    Download BlastStation now (a 14-day free trial is available) and experience the power of BlastStation.

 Testimonials:
  • BlastStation really makes NCBI BLAST user friendly.  I always felt it was inconvenient to only have truncated Definitions with search results.  I was delighted to see that BlastStation automatically displayed full Definitions when creating tables.  Enabling the easy export of data to Excel is another helpful feature.
  • Organizing BLAST search results used to be a nightmare.  Thanks to BlastStation, I can now clearly see the results from each search job.  The graphic display of search results is easy to grasp.
