Remote Acnuc Access

Participant : Manolo Gouy [ correspondent ] .

A network protocol has been developed to allow remote access to biomolecular databases of the PRABI through the internet (http://pbil.univ-lyon1.fr/databases/acnuc/remote_acnuc.html ).. This protocol has been used by a client retrieval program, query_win (http://pbil.univ-lyon1.fr/software/query_win.html ), that was previously able to query local databases only. Three APIs have been developed for the C and Python languages and for the R environment of statistical computing. The last one is at the basis of the database access to the seqinR package.
