Permanent session List of public servers Temporary session Documentation http://srs.ebi.ac.uk Database Information -which are present -when indexed
What is SRS? • Central resource for molecular biology data • Data retrieval system - more than 250 databanks have been indexed. More than 35 SRS servers over the WWW • Data analysis applications server - 11 protein applications - 6 nucleic acid applications • Uniform query interface on the web
History of SRS • 1990 - Main author Dr. Thure Etzold • Development started in EMBL, Heidelberg • 1997 • Moved to EBI in Cambridge. Development work was supported by various grants amongst others from the EMBnet. • 1998 • Etzold and his group join LionBiosciences
Why SRS? • Information retrieval • Easy way to retrieve information from sequence and sequence-related databases • Possibility to search for multiple words/other criteria • Linkage between different databases • E.g. Find all primary structures with known three-dimensional structure • ... and much more
parsed Index file Data Retrieval Searchable links between database entries Philosophy of SRS Original database file -plain text, html, xml
