SkyBLAST: Basic Local Alignment Search Tool

BLAST finds regions of similarity between biological sequences. The program compares nucleotide or protein sequences to sequence databases and calculates the statistical significance.

SkyBLAST is a new, lightning fast NCBI-BLAST web service offering the exact same results as the NIH website, but faster and less congested.
SkyBLAST is an Australian-based start-up and launched in 2025.

How does it work?

SkyBLAST uses the exact same NCBI-BLAST software, algorithms, and databases as those offered by the National Library of Medicine. We aim to provide your alignments in seconds, rather than minutes. To accomplish this, we use specialized cloud compute technologies, a custom search pipeline, and speed enhancements to the BLAST algorithms. Read more in our FAQ
