[Genome] More efficient access to rat blat search

[Rachel Harte]

Dear Caroline,

Here is a link to our BLAT use restrictions:
http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQblat.html#blat2

The block on your IP decays slowly over time, and it your IP address
appears to be clear now.

Here is a previously answered mailing question which you may find
useful:

I hope that this helps you. Please let us know if you have further
questions.

Rachel
