Dear experts,
I would like to search a genomic database for the occurrence of short
motifs, like eg {Y,S,T} X {K,R}XX {Y,S,T}
X means any amino acid, lists in {} are 2 or 3 amino acids at a
specific position.
Instead of generating all possible combinations and blasting them
separately, is there a smarter way to do it? I couldn't find any hints
in the BLAST documentation at NCBI
Many thanks,
Wo
