I need to BLAST a particular gene against many cancer genomes. Is there a tool/webtool where I can do that? If not, where can I find the latest downloads of cancer genomes? I can run BLAST locally then. But I would prefer if there is a webtool for this. Thanks.

Are you sure BLAST is the right tool here? Can you explain better what you aim to achieve? In which file format are those genomes?

I need to find if the gene is translocated.

I don't have the genomes. I am looking for cancer genomes.

Maybe you should start there, then. You'll find aligned reads in BAM format. Those are not suitable to use BLAST on.
