Our Short Match tool allows you to search for any short (2-30 base) sequence. All matches of the motif within the displayed position range are then shown. You can find it by clicking into the Short Match track in the Mapping and Sequencing track group, or via the menu bar from the tracks display (Genome Browser > Short Exact DNA Match).
