1. ElasticBLAST can handle much LARGER queries! 

ElasticBLAST can search query sets that have hundreds to millions of sequences and against BLAST databases of all sizes.

2. ElasticBLAST is FASTER

ElasticBLAST distributes your searches across multiple cloud instances to process them simultaneously. The ability to scale resources in this way allows you to process large numbers of queries in a shorter time than you could with BLAST+.

3. ElasticBLAST is EASY to run on the cloud

ElasticBLAST is easy to set up using our step-by-step instructions (Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP)) and allows you to leverage the power of the cloud. Once configured, it manages the software and database installation, handles partitioning of the BLAST workload among the various instances, and deallocates cloud resources when the searches are done.

ElasticBLAST also selects the instance (i.e., machine) type for you based on database size. Of course, you can also choose the instance type manually if you prefer.

1. Database Enhancements:

   • The BLAST databases have shifted fully to the version 5 (v5) format, which integrates built-in taxonomy information. This allows for more detailed and efficient sequence annotation and analysis.
   • Protein databases in v5 are now accession-based, supporting a broader range of sequences, including those from high-throughput projects and the Pathogen Detection Project. These databases also accommodate structural proteins with multi-character chain identifiers.

2. Performance Improvements:

   • Adaptive Composition-Based Statistics (CBS) is available as an experimental feature, enhancing the detection of novel results in protein-protein comparisons.
   • Updated algorithms improve the stability of search results, especially when fewer hits are requested than the default output.

3. Compatibility:

   • Support for the older v4 databases has been discontinued. The v5 format is now the default for all BLAST database updates, ensuring alignment with current standards in bioinformatics.

4. User-Friendly Changes:

   • Naming conventions for databases have been simplified to enhance clarity and ease of use. For example, database names no longer include version tags like "_v5".

5. Future-Proofing:

   • BLAST+ 5 aligns with current and upcoming data requirements, ensuring that researchers have access to the most comprehensive and modern resources for sequence alignment.

These updates reflect NCBI's commitment to maintaining BLAST as a leading tool for sequence analysis. For detailed release notes and additional guidance, refer to NCBI Insights here
