The UCSC Kestrel Server can be used online to run Smith-Waterman
algorithm protein searches against the SwissProt or NR protein databases,
or a nucleotide
search against the dbEST part 1 database. Search times
for a query length upto 511 residues is about 30 seconds for SwissProt
and 2.5 minutes for NR.
The current database dates are:
NR Jan 3 2000
SwissProt Jan 3 2000
dbEST, part 1 Jan 2 2000
