ElasticBLAST is ideal for users who have a large number (thousands or more) of queries to BLAST or who prefer to use cloud infrastructure for their searches. It can run BLAST searches that cannot be done on [NCBI WebBLAST](https://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) and runs them more quickly than stand-alone [BLAST+](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK279690/).
