EMBL-Align: a new public nucleotide and amino acid multiple sequence alignment database
Lombard, Camon, Parkinson, Hingamp, Stoesser, Redaschi (2002) EMBL-Align: a new public nucleotide and amino acid multiple sequence alignment database Bioinformatics (IF: 4.4) 18(5) 763-4Abstract
The submission of multiple sequence alignment data to EMBL has grown 30-fold in the past 10 years, creating a problem of archiving them. The EBI has developed a new public database of multiple sequence alignments called EMBL-Align. It has a dedicated web-based submission tool, Webin-Align. Together they represent a comprehensive data management solution for alignment data. Webin-Align accepts all the common alignment formats and can display data in CLUSTALW format as well as a new standard EMBL-Align flat file format. The alignments are stored in the EMBL-Align database and can be queried from the EBI SRS (Sequence Retrieval System) server.Webin-Align: http://www.ebi.ac.uk/embl/Submission/align_top.html, EMBL-Align: ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/embl/align, http://srs.ebi.ac.uk/
