I recently carried out a survey for the EC in which the amount
of database redundancy was estimated. In release 39 of EMBL it
was estimated that there was 34.8% redundancy for Saccharomyces
cerevisiae in FUN.DAT. If we apply this value to release 40
(12th September 1994) of the EMBL database with 9.8Mb of sequence
we also get a figure of 6.4Mb in agreement of the above figure.
