	One of the standard parts of the FASTA sequence search package
(Pearson and Lipman, PNAS (1988) 85:2444) is a program called TFASTA,
which compares a protein sequence to a DNA sequence (or library of
sequences) by translating the DNA sequence in all six frames.  The
FASTA package is available for downloading to UNIX computers over the
arpanet from the host uvaarpa (ftp uvaarpa, login as anonymous,
get the file public_access/fasta.shar) or on floppy disks for the
IBM-PC and the Macintosh for $60.00 prepaid, $85.00 P/O, with complete
source code.  Send checks to:
