In nucleotide sequences, sub-sequences or patterns of interest may include restriction enzyme recognition sites, transcription factor binding sites and other promoter elements, poly-adenylation signals, start and stop codons, and many others. In proteins, these may include potential cleavage locations, sites of potential post-translational modification, motifs representing active sites, cofactor binding pockets, or other structural or functional signatures.

However, unlike the simple find function, Find-in-Sequence allows matching across spaces and line breaks in the formatted sequence and can use standard nucleotide and protein ambiguity codes as well as Prosite patterns for protein sequences.

Epigenomics is a new field of research with the goal of understanding how different cell types and lineages acquire distinct patterns of gene expression. The Epigenomics database contains results of genome-wide studies on modifications of chromatin (histone modification, DNA methylation, DNAase footprinting) in various cell types. These studies assay programmable changes that affect gene expression (epigenetics). A Sample Browser provides access to experimental data. Data can be filtered based on biological attributes such as cell type, differentiation stage, health status, and others. Data may be displayed on the genome using either the UCSC genome browser or NCBI graphical sequence viewer as shown below.</p><p>
