You need a special tool for this kind of job. For example: http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2105/3/8 tacg – a grep for DNA Harry J Mangalam BMC Bioinformatics 2002, 3:8doi:10.1186/1471-2105-3-8
The references in that article refer to other mechanisms to do this type of genome pattern matching. --Hiram Jenn Betancourt wrote: > Hi, > > I have a question regarding the use of the genome browser.
