Search for sequences online

Searching for sequence matches using BLAST or text matches using Entrez:

• SeqMan Pro – Use Net Search > BLAST Selection to search NCBI’s BLAST database for a sequence match; or Net Search > New Text Search to search NCBI’s Entrez database for a text match. Once the search is complete, use the buttons at the top of the search window or additional commands in the Net Search menu to add matches to the project, save them, etc.

• SeqMan Ultra – Use Search > Search for BLAST or Search > Search for Text In for Entrez. In both cases, a Search wizard opens. Customize the search as needed, then click Run or Run Now to initiate the search.
  
  
  
  Monitor the progress of the job in the Jobs panel.
  
  
  
  When the search results are ready to review, a link will appear in the Status column. Clicking the link opens a new window containing the Text, Table and Pairwise views. Search results are available in the Job panel for 7 days, and (as shown above), a warning message shows when results will expire.
  
  The Table view is similar to the BLAST Search Results window in SeqMan Pro and shows the match as a graphic histogram.
  
  
  
  The Text view provides the same information and additional information in text format.
  
  
  
  The Pairwise view allows you to compare a match to the consensus by aligning them pairwise.
