Gnome (GenomeNet Open Mail-service Environment) is a sequence analysis
tool that enables an end-user to make use of several Internet- (mainl
y e-mail) based services with an easy-to-use graphical user interface.
Users can conduct homology and motif searches, and database-entry ret
rieval against the latest databases by emitting search requests to and
receiving their results from a search-server by e-mail. The search re
sults are viewed and managed efficiently with this system. The Macinto
sh and X (Motif) versions of the Gnome client and the UNIX version of
the Gnome server are available to academic users free of charge.
