STATSEARCH: a GCG-compatible program for assessing statistical significance during DNA and protein databank searches
Laboratory of Mathematical Biology, National Institute for Medical Research The Ridgeway, Mill Hill, London NW7 1AA, UK
We describe a program STATSEARCH which implements the method of Mott et al. (1989) for searching DNA and protein sequence databanks for statistically significant similarities to a given query sequence. STATSEARCH is written to run in conjunction with the GCG sequence analysis package.
