I am looking for a program that would identify approximate matches to a published short consensus sequence, such as a ribosome binding site, within a larger sequence. Since this must be a common problem, I suspect I am missing something obvious. The only thing I could find in UWGCG is a program that creates its own consensus sequence from a database; I have also come across a program that finds exact matches. The ideal would be a programme that estimates the probability of the match occurring by chance. Thanks in advance for information anyone can provide.
