Abstract

As the explosive growth of sequence databases continues, both the content of these databases and the best strategies for exploiting them are changing. Remarkable improvements in the performance of microcomputers have put very sophisticated tools within the reach of all investigators. New scoring schemes have improved the sensitivity of searching regimens and the accuracy of alignments.
