Richard,

if you are looking for the files themselves,
this should work:

mail this:

datalib genbank
begin
U14567 [acc]
U14568 [acc]
U14569 [acc]
U14570 [acc]
U14571 [acc]
U14572 [acc]
U14573 [acc]
U14574 [acc]


to:

retrieve at ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

To find out more about this server, just send the word 'help' to
the same retrieve address.

To do a blast search, you can use the blast server:

blast at ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

(also send 'help' for help on how to use this server)

To read more about this, I guess you can look at:

Claverie & Makalowski (1994) in the recent Nature (which is probably
where you got interested about this) ...  371:752

regards,

francis
