<DIV><SPAN class=904254122-01052006><FONT color=#0000ff size=2>Did you BLAST
your sequence against the human genome, or just (human) genes? BLAST
should do this for you if you are using the correct database. The output
(and MapViewer) will then tell you what chomosome its on and everything in the
surrounding area.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

BB] A tool for gene identification..<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear colleagues,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Our lab isolated a 196 bp fragment from
humans from more than one cell type ( part of a gene that is an oncogene
for cancer). Conducting BLAST searches of all types resulted in no homology to
any published human gene. Is there some tool that can identify the human
genome to:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1) locate on which chromosome is this
sequence?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2) enable us to get the rest of the sequence of
that gene?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3) predict this gene based on the sequence
submitted?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Your help is very highhly
appreciated.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,<BR></FONT></DIV>
