	One of the more popular programs for rapid sequence searches
under unix is called the FASTA program package. A description of these
program was published in PNAS (1988) 85:2444 and more recently in
Methods in Enzymology, vol. 183 (1990) p. 63.  This package of programs
can be used to search both DNA and protein sequence databases in a
variety of formats.  It compiles under Unix SysV, BSD, Xenix, DOS, and
VMS.  It is available via anonymous ftp from uvaarpa.Virginia.EDU in
the file /public_access/fasta14.shar.  Copies are available for the
IBM/PC and Macintosh for a modest charge; send me electronic mail for
additional information.
