    NCBI is holding a beta test for a new BLAST interface design. We invite you to try these pages and send us your comments and suggestions.

    One major improvement is a new "Recent Results" feature that provides links to all of your recent BLAST search results. Another is "Saved Strategies", which allows you to save BLAST forms with their parameters and use them later. Saved Strategies requires a free MyNCBI account, and is compatible with existing accounts. Signing in to MyNCBI also makes your Recent Results available from any browser.

    Other improvements include:
    • Easier navigation
    • Simplified BLAST program selection
    • Easy access to genome searches
    • Improved Organism selection with species name auto-complete
    • Automatic parameter adjustment to optimize for short queries
    • A user-specifiable title for each BLAST job
    The Beta test is available at:
    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/beta/

    or as a link from the BLAST home page at
