I use the Sequence Alerting service at EMBLK-Heidelberg.
(http://www.bork.embl-heidelberg.de/Alerting/)
A quote from the server:
"The sequence alerting system in its present form will search
each day in several databases for news on (homologues of)
"your" sequence and will inform you by email if it has
detected a new relative.
DNA and protein sequences are accepted as query, but only
protein databases are screened. You can specify some
parameters of the searches in order to optimise it for your
particular problem."
I have about six sequences set up to run each day, and get email if
there
are any hits.
