Hello Vera,

Use of BLAT for this purpose would not be appropriate.

There are multiple short-sequence aligners available from other sources, 
although 7 bases is likely past the lower limit for those tools as well.

Since you are looking for identical matches, perhaps some simple unix 
utilities such as "grep" might be the best solution. Or some regular 
expression functions included in a shell/perl script.

We can offer the hg19 genome sequence for download to use locally. To 
find the versions available, use the path Human -> assembly -> Big Zips 
or Chromosomes on the Downloads server and then ftp/rsync the data.
