Nucleic acid sequences or amino acid sequences can be searched on the Orbit Biosequence (OBS) platform. Three types of searches are available:
- “Standard” sequence search for sequences that are ~100 or more nucleotides long or that are ~30 or more amino acid long.
- This search uses the latest version of the NCBI-BLAST algorithm (v2.7.1+).
- “Short” sequence search for sequences that are less than 100 nucleotides long or that are less than 30 amino acid long.
- This search uses the latest version of the NCBI-BLAST algorithm (v2.7.1+), which is adapted to the short sequences when the “short input sequences” box is checked.
- "MOTIF" search to search for a specific pattern or profile within a sequence.
