hi we are computer engineering students developing a a sequence
retreival system to retreive data from genbank.
This is how we have thought of
(1) first we will have our software running on apache web server. The
webserver will accept http requests from the web browsers from different
clients. To handle this we will be running PHP script on the web server.
(2) on getting a request now we want our software to access data from
GenBANK. How to achieve this. what technolgy is needed to get data from
a remote bioinformatics database such as Genbank or swiss prot and save
the data in the local database.
 
We would be thankful if you can guide us.
