Comprehensive viral oligonucleotide probe design using conserved protein regions 2007-12-13 .txt text/plain 4260 227 47 The method uses the Protein Families database (Pfam) and motif finding algorithms to identify oligonucleotide probes in conserved amino acid regions and untranslated sequences. Our method for probe design employs protein alignment information, discovered protein motifs, nucleic acid motifs and finally, sliding windows to ensure near complete coverage of the database. The EMBL nucleotide sequence database [July 2007, Release 91; 461,353 nucleic acid sequences (31) ] was chosen as the reference for this study because it is tightly integrated with the Pfam protein family database (23, 32 Taxon growth was estimated using a standard least squares method, with the SPSS statistical package. We have described a method that capitalizes on the Pfam protein alignment database and a motif finding algorithm to automate the extraction of nucleic acid sequence for probes from conserved protein regions. ./cache/cord-325985-xfzhn1n1.txt ./txt/cord-325985-xfzhn1n1.txt
