To search the sequence part of the record, the run GERAEQ and run GETSIM packages are used. GETSEQ and GETSIM do not have to be purchased as separate software packages. GETSEQ will allow the following types of string searches – exact polypeptide searches, exact polypeptide searches with family-equivalent substitutions, subsequence polypeptide searches with family-equivalent substitutions, exact nucleic acid searches and subsequence nucleic acid searches Subsequence searches will allow the use of variability symbols (e.g. repeat preceding sequence m times etc.) and specified gaps. GETSIM performs similarity (homologous) sequence searches, and retrieves polypeptide sequences which include the exact or similar sequence query and assigns a similarity score. • GENESEQ in GCG format is available for use with the Wisconsin Package produced by GCG (Genetics Computer
