Paul,

	We have two programs on the GenBank On-line Service (GOS)
which can compare a protein sequence against the translated nucleic
acid sequence databank.  One is TFASTA as mentioned in one reply to
your message and another possibility is the IntelliGenetics program
FASTDB which will translate the nucleic acid sequence databanks in up
to six frames during the search.

	Both of these programs are available on GOS, but only to
interactive users of the system (not by e-mail).  The GenPept database
is available free of charge from genbank.bio.net by anonymous FTP.
That databank contains translation of all annotated coding regions in
GenBank.  Also note that GenPept and the GenBank and EMBL databases
are updated daily with the latest sequence data.
