<meta name="description" content="The new Find-in-Sequence search finds and highlights subsequences, patterns, or motifs in nucleotide or protein sequences displayed in the Entrez system. 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. The link to open the Find-in-Sequence search box appears in the Analysis Tools portlet in the right-hand Discovery column of nucleotide and protein record views. Find-in-sequence works with single and multiple sequence displays with any format that shows the sequence (GenBank, GenPept, FASTA). The search box that opens at the bottom of the display has the familiar look and feel of the find in page function of the Web browser showing all matches and providing means to jump to the next or previous match. 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. Find-in-Sequence provides rapid mapping of custom features onto nucleotide and protein sequences and is a powerful addition to the suite of analysis tools now available directly from sequence records in the Entrez system.">

new Find-in-Sequence search finds and highlights subsequences, patterns, or motifs in nucleotide or protein sequences displayed in the Entrez system. 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. The link to open the Find-in-Sequence search box appears in the Analysis Tools portlet in the right-hand Discovery column of nucleotide and protein record views. Find-in-sequence works with single and multiple sequence displays with any format that shows the sequence (GenBank, GenPept, FASTA). The search box that opens at the bottom of the display has the familiar look and feel of the find in page function of the Web browser showing all matches and providing means to jump to the next or previous match. 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 <a href="http://ca.expasy.org/tools/scanprosite/scanprosite-doc.html#pattern_syntax" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri">Prosite patterns</a> for protein sequences. Find-in-Sequence provides rapid mapping of custom features onto nucleotide and protein sequences and is a powerful addition to the suite of analysis tools now available directly from sequence records in the Entrez system.</p><p>A <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkMLF9ZxsW4" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri">video</a> demonstrating this feature is now available on the NCBI YouTube channel.</p><p>

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>
