Sequence Code Match Searching<br />

Introduction<br />

Sequence Code Match Searching<br />

Sequence Code Match (SCM) searching using RUN GETSEQ finds the exact sequence entered, or<br />

with controlled variation using special symbols. The search can either be exact or subsequence,<br />

i.e. where the query string can be embedded in a larger sequence. It has an important advantage<br />

over similarity searching (page 12) in that it is very precise. What you search for is exactly what<br />

you get. SCM is useful for short, conserved region searches, including those in motifs or domains.<br />

It is also particularly effective for very short sequences, e.g. DNA probes and primers.<br />

BLAST nucleic acid searches retrieve U or T in sequence answers, regardless<br />

of whether or not U or T is used in the query. Us are always treated as Ts.<br />

In contrast, GETSEQ treats U and T independently, offering greater search<br />

precision when searching either DNA or RNA sequence queries.
