Publisher's Synopsis
Nucleic acid and protein sequence data are accumulating at an ever-increasing rate as a result of the efforts of scientists from a wide range of biological disciplines in many countries. These researchers need to be able to compare their results quickly and accurately with good quality information held in databanks throughout the world.;This book discusses the organization and maintenance of databanks holding this information and poses a range of possible solutions to this formidable challenge faced by computer scientists.;The study should be of benefit to biochemists, geneticists, molecular biologists, protein chemists and researchers in related fields.
