[Genome] more efficient ways to access your data help

[Brooke Rhead]

Hello Dr. Sánchez-García,

Due to the high demand on our Blat servers, we restrict service for 
users who programatically query Blat or do large batch queries. 
Program-driven use of Blat is limited to a maximum of one hit every 15 
seconds and no more than 5,000 hits per day. Please limit batch queries 
to 25 sequences or less.

There are two options for avoiding the Blat volume limits.

1) Download the Blat executable and run it locally.  Blat is free for 
academic, nonprofit, and personal use.  See this link for instructions 
on obtaining the executable:
http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQblat#blat3

2) Use a program that obeys the usage limits to submit your queries.  
There is a perl script for this purpose available here:

I hope this information is helpful.  If you have further questions, 
please feel free to write back to the mailing list address.
