The Genome Sequence DataBase

The Genome Sequence DataBase (GSDB) is a database of publicly available nuc leotide sequences and their associated biological and bibliographic informa tion. Several notable changes have occurred in the past year: GSDB stopped accepting data submissions from; researchers; ownership of data submitted t o GSDB was transferred to GenBank; sequence analysis capabilities were expa nded to include Smith-Waterman and Frame Search; and Sequence Viewer became available to Mac users. The content of GSDB remains up-to-date because pub licly available data is acquired from the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration databases (IC) on a nightly basis. This allows GSDB to continue providing researchers with the ability to analyze, query and r etrieve nucleotide sequences in the database, GSDB and its related tools ar e freely accessible from the URL:http://www.ncgr.org.
