Search Databases with FASTA

 This page provides searches against comprehensive databases, like SwissProt and NCBI RefSeq. The PIR1 Annotated database can be used for small, demonstration searches. The NCBI nr database is also provided, but should be your last choice for searching, because its size greatly reduces sensitivity. The best first choice for searching is a genome database from a closely related organism (e.g. RefSeq Human for vertebrates).

The Individual Proteomes/Genomes page provides searches against selected prokaryotes.
