The National Center for Biotechnology (NCBI), part of the National Library of Medicine, is making the source code for ElasticBLAST available on GitHub as an Open Distribution to allow the user community to easily obtain and examine that code. GitHub also provides a means for users to report issues and suggest modifications through pull requests.
The NCBI will use internal source code control as the repository of record and push regular releases of the ElasticBLAST source code to GitHub. The BLAST developers will work to ensure that ElasticBLAST continues to function in changing environments and, when possible, integrate user feedback into ElasticBLAST. Owing to resource constraints, they cannot absolutely commit to act on all issue reports, except critical security vulnerabilities.
