Search for WGS Sequences using Stand-alone BLAST!

It is now much easier to search WGS (Whole Genome Shotgun) with stand-alone BLAST on your own computer. New tools from the NCBI allow you to BLAST just the WGS projects you are interested in. You can also search a taxonomic subset of WGS (e.g., all human or all bacterial sequences). These new tools for WGS make the existing search mechanism obsolete.
