Filtering motif results

The protein subsequence search results can be filtered as follows:

- by the frequency of the motif occurrence

- by the residue range in which the motif occurs.

1. The Display dialog box is displayed on completion of each analysis. To display this dialog box at other times, for example to change the display parameters,choose Analyze | Protein Subsequence when any protein subsequence display result window is active.

2. To restrict the displays to subsequences that occur a limited number of times, select the # of sites checkbox and type a number from 1 to 20 to set the maximum number of occurrences.

3. To restrict the displays to subsequences that do not occur within a given region, select the no sites checkbox, then either type in the numbers of the bases that bracket the region, or choose a region from the features table drop-down menu at the right of the text boxes.

4. To restrict the displays to subsequences that occur only within a given region, select the sites only checkbox, then either type in the numbers of the bases that bracket the region, or choose a region from the features table drop-down menu at the right of the text boxes.

5. Select the Display Options as required.

6. Select OK to display the results.
