[galaxy-user] Blast and Fetching Data from NCBI

Hi,

I am new to galaxy and I am wondering if it is possible to:

1) Fetch data from NCBI from the main galaxy portal? I assume this is possible from a local installation. For example, do a query say looking for a disease in rodents using Ratmine, export to Galaxy (did this fine) and then use the returned identifies to fetch sequence from NCBI. I can't seem to do this last bit - I don't even see NCBI under "Get Data". 2) Run blast from the main galaxy portal? Is this disabled due to too many users? Does this option appear once you have sequence?

The context is our group at UAB is evaluating galaxy and I am just playing around to see what it can do.
