Abstract
Automatic techniques for DNA sequencing are yielding a huge amount of gene and protein sequences and as a consequence the number of biological databanks is more and more increasing, presently exceeding 120. In order to be accessible, all information should be organized in databases, several Gigabytes large, which cannot be managed with a personal computer or workstation. A possible solution is to make available these databases through the international computer network Internet. To facilitate the work of biology researchers our group created GeneWeb, an on-line hypertext making accessible a great amount of information and tools concerning genetics and molecular biology. Users willing to connect to GeneWeb need a direct access to the WWW (World Wide Web) and have to set a browser such as Mosaic or Netscape at the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) http://dns.unife.it/geneweb. GeneWeb makes accessible many different types of databases among which sequence and structure (e.g. GenBank, SWISS-P...I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
