Entrez 15.0 online

[Jonathan Epstein]

[ this message was also e-mailed to the Network Entrez administrators ]

The data images for Entrez 15.0 are now on line, and are available to Network
Entrez users.  The CD-ROMs containing these data will be received by most
CD-ROM subscribers in 10-20 days.  The Entrez 15.0 dataset contains
approximately 9% more data than the Entrez 14.0 dataset.  This unusual
growth is largely due to a 34% increase in the number of Expressed Sequence
Tags (ESTs) which now appear in GenBank.

You can verify that you are using dataset 15.0 by selecting
"About Entrez ...", pressing the "More" button, and then reading the text
window.

For a limited time, the Entrez 14.0 dataset will remain online.

WWW Entrez users can also access the Entrez 15.0 data set.  Note that there
is a new URL for WWW Entrez: http://atlas.nlm.nih.gov:5700/Entrez/index.html.
A new, more Entrez-like interface developed by Brandon Brylawski is now
available for users with FORMS-capable browsers.

No new Network Entrez client software will be distributed at this time, but
please be sure to try installing the Entrez 3.010 clients if you haven't
already done so.  As a reminder, the URLs for the README file and supported
