   Note: If importing a sequence, the .txt file's name replaces the auto-generated text in the Name field.

• Sequence type

• Combine Motif Results: This option is selected by default; produces a single, unified set of results with no child (derivative) queries.
  
  
  Advanced Sequence Search offers options to focus the search by Query Coverage % and E-Value.

6. Click the Run Search button. Note: If the imported or entered sequence is in an invalid format or contains invalid characters, an error message displays.
   
   

You will then see your search is in progress; when complete, click the View Results button.
