title: Screening protein and nucleic acid sequences against libraries of patterns.
abstract: We describe programs that can screen nucleic acid and protein sequences against libraries of motifs and patterns. Such comparisons are likely to play an important role in interpreting the function of sequences determined during large scale sequencing projects. In addition we report programs for converting the Prosite protein motif library into a form that is compatible with our searching programs. The programs work on VAX and SUN computers.
