Non-interactive searches of nt switch to core_nt¶
Starting late September 2024 all non-interactive WebBLAST and PrimerBLAST searches of nt will
be automatically changed to search the core_nt database.
This change will lead to improved search results and faster searches.
Please see our recent blog post
for details. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact
