It is also possible to do BLAST and FASTA searches using e-mail. To
know how you just have to send :
HELP
to
blast at ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
and
fasta at embl-heidelberg.de
Even better, you can ftp HyperCard Stacks which relieve you from all
the painful work of preparing data for the search :
FTP anonymous site : ftp.bio.indiana.edu
directory : /molbio/mac
Binhex files : embl-email-search.hqx
gbsearch-ncbi.hqx
After the files have been "unbinhexed", run the self-extracting
applications. You end up with HyperCard stacks you can run with
HyperCard or HyperCard Player...
Very straightforward...
