Abstract

A comprehensive package of software has been developed to access nucleic acid and protein sequence databases on stand-alone IBM personal computers. The software combines keyword search on the annotation fields of the data with pattern matching algorithms on the biological sequences. Sequences containing complex sites like promoters or kink sites can be identified as well as sequences that are similar to a query sequence. Protein sequences with particular patterns of amino acids such as hydrophobic regions can be identified as well. Considering the relatively inexpensive hard disks now available, personal computers have become a cost-effective alternative to mainframe processing for sequence databases.
