The determination of distant evolutionary relationships remains an important biological problem, and distant homologs often appear in statistically insignificant regions of sequence similarity searches. Intersect is a computer program designed to identify and visualize the overlaps between sets of sequences reported by multiple database searches. This capability extends the usefulness of database search results and aids researchers in identifying the individual sequences that best bridge sequence families and superfamilies. AVAILABILITY: The Intersect program is available from the Babbitt laboratory website at http://www.babbittlab.ucsf.edu/software/intersect
