Reply to: RE>Database search with multip
Why not try BLAST? It is my understanding that this program (Basic
Local Alignment Search Tool) is particularly useful for finding matches
between small peptide stretches.

Situation: you have multiple peptide sequences _from the same
protein_ , but their order is not known. Each sequence is short (say
6-10 aa). What database search tool, if any, can accept this sort of
data?
I already did a trial run with the Drosophila white gene, where I took
three peptide chunks and made one test sequence out of them (like 61-70
+
101-110 + 151-160 = sequence, although I don't recall the exact
numbers).
I ran this through Genbank's FASTA, but it only matched the best
subregion
and did not align (with gaps) the other two. I sent the same thing to
BLAZE, but it hasn't answered yet, so no info on that.
Any suggestions?
