The DB is being designed to support several search-realted AI problems that are now being considered in our lab. Comments: There are tables inn the database that include rows that are expressions for linking to other databases: |other-db-name| our_prot_id | their_prot_id | expr_to | expr_from where "expr_to" is an expression relating the protein sequence from our DB to trheir perotein sequence, i.e., if there is a sequence difference, how to derrive the sequence in the other database from the sequence in our database. expr_from allows you to move in the opposite direction. When we set up links to GenBank and EMBL, I will meed to devise functions "transcription," and "translation," but that is going to be messy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------* Dr. Jude Shavlik University of Wisconsin Computer Science Department 1210 W.
