SoyBase has switched to SequenceServer to do our ‘Quick BLASTt’ and local BLAST options from the ‘Gene Report’ page. This switch allows you more output options including the ability to download all the hits as FASTA files and the alignment of all the hits. You also can now get tabular reports of the hits.
