Analysis of nucleotide and protein sequence data was initially restricted to those with access to complicated mainframe or expensive desktop computer programs (for example PC/GENE, Lasergene, MacVector, Accelrys etc.). The availability of online tools permits even the novice molecular biologist the opportunity to derive a considerable amount of useful nformation from nucleotide or protein sequence data. For those with no experience I have provided three sequences: (a) a DNA sequence, (b) a protein sequence, and (c) four protein sequences presented in FASTA format. Prior to trying out a Web Site select the sequence and copy to clipboard. Each of the items in blue text is hyperlinked to a site on the Web. Each of these Web Sites has a box into which you can 'Paste' your sequence. Click on the button labeled 'Search,' 'Run' or 'Submit.' If in doubt use the default setting that the sites provide, but for the more adventuresome some of the sites offer the chance of modifying the search strategy.
