Different Blast tools

I am currently looking for commercial vs. non-commercial blast tools. I've used several times the NCBI blast for my local blast searches but now I am looking for interesting alternatives. During my search I found some interesting results such as CUDA-Blast, GPU-Blast, WU-Blast, BlastStation2, mpiBlast and Turboblast. As anyone experiences with those tools? Or are there any similar tools such as BlastStation2 available, that I missed? Any important commercial or non-commercial blast tools I missed?

I really appreciate your help.

Thanks,

Beeth

You should also take a look at the FASTA programs, which provide the same comparison functions, and more. The FASTA programs can produce BLAST output, so analysis pipelines need minimal modification.

you may want to check out http://www.sequenceserver.com It's open source. It makes it really easy to rapidly set up a local BLAST server to which you get a web interface. (Meaning that you can share it with colleagues too).

Disclaimer: I'm one of the developers.
