howdy,
I am in the process of developing hardware and software
to do some basic gene sequence analysis (edit distance,
homology stuff) and want to get a local copy of a part
of GenBank or some other database for testing and
development.
1. Is it possible to download large sections from an ftp
site? Is it possible to get a hold of 1/4" tapes of
data or even CD-ROMs for local use. I am using a
Mac IIfx for most of this stuff and would prefer to
have everything be accessible under the Mac environment.
2. Is there a document that details the various database
formats? If so, where can I get a copy?
Thanks in advance.
-Gill
