biosequence

Sometimes also referred to as a nucleic acid or amino acid search, the purpose of this search is to discover extended amino acid (peptides and proteins) or nucleic acid (genes) sequences that either exactly match or are similar to a biosequence of interest. There are a number of different types of biosequence searches that can be conducted including:

  • Exact - where the discovered amino or nucleic acid sequence exactly matches the query sequence.

  • Subsequence - where the discovered amino or nucleic acid sequence(s) completely encompass the query sequence but may also contain additional amino or nucleic acid segments.

  • Homology - where discovered sequences are retrieved based on how much similarity they have to the query sequence. Computer algorithms are used to provide a score of how similar one sequence is to another.
