IMGT, the international ImMunoGeneTics database.

IMGT, the international ImMunoGeneTics database (http://imgt.cines. fr:8104 ), is a high-quality integrated database specialising in Immunoglobulins (Ig), T cell Receptors (TcR) and Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) molecules of all vertebrate species, created in 1989 by Marie-Paule Lefranc, Université Montpellier II, CNRS, Montpellier, France (lefranc@ligm.igh.cnrs.fr ). At present, IMGT includes two databases: IMGT/LIGM-DB, a comprehensive database of Ig and TcR from human and other vertebrates, with translation for fully annotated sequences, and IMGT/HLA-DB, a database of the human MHC referred to as HLA (Human Leucocyte Antigens). The IMGT server provides a common access to expertized genomic, proteomic, structural and polymorphic data of Ig and TcR molecules of all vertebrates. By its high quality and its easy data distribution, IMGT has important implications in medical research (repertoire in autoimmune diseases, AIDS, leukemias, lymphomas), therapeutic approaches (antibody engineering), genome diversity and genome evolution studies. IMGT is freely available at http://imgt.cines.fr:8104. The IMGT Index is provided at the IMGT Marie-Paule page (http://imgt.cines.fr:8104/textes/IMGTindex.html).

EMBL-search: a CD-ROM based database query system.

This paper describes a system of generally applicable index files provided on the EMBL sequence databases CD-ROM to facilitate the development of front-end software to the sequence databases available on this CD-ROM. The index files are used by a new versatile and user-friendly database retrieval program for the Apple Macintosh, EMBL-Search, which allows the easy construction of complex database queries. EMBL-Search utilizes cross-reference information contained in the databases to support navigation between different information resources. The ability to run EMBL-Search on a local computer network accessing a shared database CD-ROM makes its use particularly cost effective.

EMBLSCAN: fast approximate DNA database searches on compact disc.

An algorithm that allows rapid searching of nucleic acid sequences based on pregenerated index files is described. The programs and index files for searching the entire EMBL nucleotide sequence collection are being distributed on the EMBL Data Library's CD-ROM.

New services of the EMBL Data Library.

The existing services of the EMBL Data Library for external users have been improved and extended in several ways. The EMBL File Server has been reorganised, and many new databases and other information relevant to biologists are now accessible via global computer networks. A broad range of software for molecular biology is freely available for different popular computer systems, including the EMBL enhancements to the Wisconsin (GCG) Package. The new Mail-Quicksearch and Mail-FastA services give access to the latest sequence data for database searches by ordinary electronic mail.
