EMBLSCAN: fast approximate DNA database searches on compact disc

An algorithm that allows rapid searching of nucleic acid sequences based on pregenerated index files is described. The programs and index files for searching the entire EMBL nucleotide sequence collection are being distributed on the EMBL Data Library's CD-ROM.
