The Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC) will be able to provide limited
searching of the GenBank and PIR databases to academic researchers who
need such a facility.

The genetic sequence search programs at the PSC are from the Kanehisa
IDEAS package, with some routines modified by Dan Davison.  The programs
are:

seqh  - local (substring) alignment between two sequences
seqf  - GenBank library search
sp    - PIR (new format) library search
snu   - GenBank library search, 50% faster than seqf
st    - translated GenBank search (three frames)
spr   - Protein sequence search by amino acid function (e.g. charge)

Additionally, several RNA folding programs are available as well as the
UWGCG suite of programs for general sequence manipulation.

Contact Dr. Hugh Nicholas, Scientific Consultant, at nicholas@a.psc.edu
(Internet), NICHOLAS@CPWPSCA (BITNET), or telephone at:  (412) 268-5130
for further information on this program.
