Information is at http://homepage.mac.com/iankorf/mygenbank.html and code can be downloaded at http://mgb.sourceforge.net/download/ It uses MySQL and is fairly easy and lightweight. We've been using it for a couple of years. Good luck. Paul -------------------------------------------- Hi Nick, We are offering a Product/Service that creates and maintains a mirror of EMBL-Genbank in a Postgres Database. The Installation also comes with a WebGui and Java API. Let me know if you want to know more. Best Regards Guenther ---------------------------------------------- Hi Nick, We are using SRS with great success. It can also maintain dozens of other databases, integrates tools such as EMBOSS and BLAST, and supports Sun Grid Engine. It is *not* lightweight or easy to administer, though. The upside is that you are getting a heavyweight commercial product that is free for academia. SRS is from Lion: http://www.lionbioscience.com . The reference implementation is at EBI: http://srs.ebi.ac.uk I'll be happy to answer any other questions. Regards, Ran Rubinstein Center for Bioinformatics Infrastructure, Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel. ------------------------------------------------ I have a few shell scripts and C programs that can download GenBank and sort according to organism. I'll be happy to post them. -- Kenneth Geisshirt, M.Sc., Ph.D. -- http://kenneth.geisshirt.dk/ ------------------------------------------------ ************************************************************************ ************************ On Tue, 22 Jun 2004, Nick Brockner wrote: > Hi All, > > Just wanted to thank everybody who replied with great info on genBank. > It was very helpful. > > Thanks again, > > ************************************ > Nick Brockner > System Administrator, Biology Computing Facility > Hamilton College > nbrockne@hamilton.edu > (315) 859-4137 > > _______________________________________________ > Bioclusters maillist - Bioclusters@bioinformatics.org > https://bioinformatics.org/mailman/listinfo/bioclusters > ************************************ Nick Brockner System Administrator, Biology Computing Facility Hamilton College
