Dear Mathieu
you could try Blitz, at the EBI site (www.ebi.ac.uk). I don't know why, but
it has worked better for me than Fasta or Blast with a 10 AA sequence. Only
Blitz gave me a decent homology, with what later turned out to be the right
homologue of our protein.
I'll leave it to the specialists to explain why.
Hope this helps
Arnoud
