stssearch
stssearch searches DNA databases using Short Tandem Repeat (STR) or Sequence Tagged Site (STS) primers to identify matching sequences for genetic mapping and marker identification and is part of the European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite (EMBOSS).
Key Features:
- DNA database search: Searches DNA databases for sequences matching STR or STS primer sequences to support marker identification and genetic mapping.
- EMBOSS integration: Operates within the EMBOSS suite and interoperates with over 200 EMBOSS applications and third-party software packages.
Scientific Applications:
- Genetic mapping: Facilitates locating loci by identifying STS/STR matches in DNA sequence collections.
- Marker identification: Enables discovery and validation of sequence-tagged markers from database searches.
Methodology:
Performs sequence searches against DNA databases using STS or STR primer sequences.
