Hello Maggie,

There are two solutions to running BLAT more efficiently:

1) You can download the command-line version of BLAT and run it locally:

http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQblat#blat3

(BLAT is free for academic, nonprofit, and personal use.)

2) You can access our web-based BLAT with a script that obeys the usage 
limits.  There is a Perl script for this purpose available on our 
genomewiki, here:

http://genomewiki.ucsc.edu/index.php/Blat_Scripts

I hope this information is helpful.  If you have further questions, 
please feel free to contact us again and genome at soe.ucsc.edu.
