In the GCG package of computerprograms from U. of Wisconsin there is a couple of programs that deals with profilesearching. In the documentation they talk about the increased sensitivity of the method when used to search for similar protein sequences. My question is if anyone can comment on if the profile analysis is suitable to use on nucleic acid sequences as well. Is it possible to compile profiles for parts of promoter or enhancer sequences and use them as search probes to find related sequences. Has anyone done something like this? -- Mats Sundvall Biomedical Center +46/18174583 University of Uppsala Mats.Sundvall@BMC.UU.SE Sweden psi%24020019700620::MATS
