#### Introduction to Nix NIX Frequently Asked Questions

This system attempts to identify interesting, informative regions in your nucleotide sequence using an eclectic set of programs at the HGMP run in an appropriate way for the type, size and origin of your sequence.

Here is an example of analysing the Human FAU gene sequence - you can see some of the NOF gene on the reverse strand.

The heavy load of searches on our machine may cause us to scale down the number of searches we include in Nix. If you find Nix useful, then let us know! We may get funding to continue this service!

### Acknowledgements

Commercial users who make heavy usage of NIX should consider licensing the FEX, HEXON, FGENES, etc. programs from Victor Solovyev and the GENSCAN program from Chris Burge.

Repeat regions are detected using RepeatMasker which uses RepBase Update from the Genetic Information Research Institute. Please cite: "Jurka, J. Repbase Update: a database and an electronic journal of repetitive elements. Trends in Genetics 16(9):418-420."
