Introduction to similarity searching<br />

Nucleic acid sequences<br />

<strong>note</strong><br />

For nucleotide similarity searching the GETSIM (FASTA) default is single<br />

strand (SIN). In contrast the BLAST default is BOTH strands. In order to<br />

run a corresponding GETSIM search BOTH must be specified, e.g.<br />

=> RUN GETSIM L1 /SQN BOTH<br />

Search Question: Find nucleic acid sequences of more than 100 nucleotides which have<br />

similarity to the following sequence:<br />

Search Strategy<br />

To conduct a GETSIM search for nucleic acid sequences…<br />

Step 1 RUN GETSIM using the SQN BOTH option<br />

Step 2 Refine the answer set further by sequence length<br />

Step 3 Sort the answer set by similarity score<br />

Step 4 Display results with ALIGN and SCORE
