Algorithms for the search of amino acid patterns in nucleic acid sequences
Nucleic Acids Research
|January 10, 1986
Abstract:
Some algorithms are described for the search of regions in a nucleic acid sequence that, when translated into amino acids, are homologous to a given amino acid pattern. All algorithms are modifications of the dynamic programming method for sequence comparison such that the translation of codons is taken into account. One of the algorithms has been implemented as a FORTRAN 77 program. The program operates on files that follow the format of the EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Data Library.
