BLAST Web

• STS records are included in the STS division of GenBank available from NCBI through Entrez and by anonymous ftp.

• The nucleotide sequences may be searched using BLAST. The TBLASTN program which takes an amino acid query sequence and compares it with six-frame translations of dbSTS DNA sequences is particularly useful.

• Full reports on STSs, including similarity data, can be retrieved from the dbSTS web page or from the electronic mail server. For more information on the email server send an e-mail message to retrieve@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov -- include "datalib dbsts" followed by "help" in the body of the message.

• STS sequences are also available as a flat file in the FASTA format by anonymous FTP in the /repository/dbSTS directory at ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.
