Dear administrator,

We tried several times to use Blatsearch, but we failed. That is is written:

"

  • Error in TCP non-blocking connect() 111 - Connection refused
  • Operation now in progress
    Sorry, the BLAT/iPCR server seems to be down. Please try again later."

Is there any technical problem? If yes, when will it be resolved?

Many thanks for your response and your help.

Best regards,

Philippe Monget

Thank you for the information and the fast response, Philippe! 

Users are able to create their own mirrors of the UCSC Genome Browser, and they are responsible for their own content. Since the mirror you are using is not an official UCSC Genome Browser, you will need to contact the Rohs Lab directly: 


If you would instead prefer to use the official UCSC Genome Browser, please follow one of the 3 urls for the U.S., euro, or asia servers listed in my previous response. 

Please respond to this list if you have further questions!

What should we do? Do you advise us to create our own mirror site? Do you think that it will work?...

Hi Philippe,

You were using a mirror of our site - this can be seen by looking at the url you were using, which is different from the 3 official sites that I mentioned. If there is a reason that you are using that particular Rohs Lab mirror instead of the official UCSC Genome Browser, you will need to contact them for assistance with their BLAT tool.

However, if you just want to use the official UCSC Genome Browser, you can reach our site at any of the 3 urls below:


1. http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgBlat (U.S. server)
2. http://genome-euro.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgBlat (our official European mirror)
3. http://genome-asia.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgBlat (our official Asia mirror)

You should be able to perform your BLAT search on one of the three sites listed above, selecting the site that is closest to your location. If you have any issues with your blat search on the official UCSC Genome Browser, please feel free to respond to this forum!

For future reference, if you are ever interested in creating your own mirror, you can start by taking a look at our documentation:
