I am trying to find out which databases I want to subscribe to (protein and nucleic acid sequences...), and how to subscribe to them. Currently we get the Genbank, PIR, EMBL, Vecbase, and NAQ databases. We get most of them through the folks at GCG, but we would like more frequent updates, so I would like to get us subscriptions to the individual databases themselves. Also... I would like to get the Swiss-prot database, and any other genetic sequence databases that are applicable to DNA/RNA and protein sequence analysis. So... does anyone have the info to sub to these databases (plus cost if avail- able), and suggestions on which additional databases I might be interested in? You can e-mail to me, and I will post a summary if it is desireable. THanks... Keith =============================================================================== Keith O.

Rob Elliston, To subscribe to the databases distributed by EMBL (EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Database and the SWISS-PROT Protein Sequence Database) contact the EMBL Data Library by e-mail, fax, phone or post giving your name and postal address. You will be sent full subscription details EMBL Data Library Tel. +49 6221 387258 Postfach 10.2209 Fax +49 6221 387306 Meyerhofstr. 1 E-mail: datalib@embl.bitnet 6900 Heidelberg West Germany The charge for academics in non-EMBL member countries is DM 100 per database release. Sorry for posting this on the GenBank-BB but thats where the more-general query was posted and, anyway, these days we operate in harmony. Peter Stoehr EMBL Data Library
