searching for homology in protein db
Hello All,
I am a computer science student and new in biology world. I am trying to use BioJava classes to search in downloaded proteins database for homology. After entering a protein sequence, the result should be list of species that have the same protein sequence homology. My questions are:
- Is what I am trying to do possible?
- Which data set do I need to download and which website is better?
- Which BioJava class/es should I use?
Thanks

Risking an off topic comment, why not simply use NCBI's BLAST? It is a well tested popular software that can be tailored to do the exact same thing you're trying to do with your custom software. Why reinvent the wheel?
