The new relational form of the GenBank data bank is now available on the GenBank On-line Service (GOS). The new GenBank On-line Service Manual (completely revised) will begin shipping later today to all current and new GOS subscribers. This manual includes instructions on how to utilize the GenBank RDBMS. The data base is accessible through either the Sybase ISQL interface for SQL queries or through the forms-oriented "Annotator's Workbench" software developed at GenBank/Los Alamos. The current methods of access to GenBank flat files such as IRX also remain available on GOS. One must have an account on the GOS computer to gain access to the RDBMS. For account information and an application packet, please send your regular mailing address to gos@genbank.bio.net. My thanks to all of those at LANL and IntelliGenetics whose efforts have helped us attain this major milestone. Sincerely, Dave Kristofferson GenBank Manager kristoff@genbank.bio.net
