PseqIP release 4.0
Announcing PseqIP release 4.0 :
Release 4.0 of the PseqIP protein sequence data bank is now available.
PseqIP 4.0 includes 8117 different protein sequences for a total of
2 130 642 residues.
Description of PseqIP data bank :
PseqIP is a nonredondant protein sequence data bank generated by
systematic sequence comparison.
The previous releases of PseqIP were generated from NBRF-PIR, PSD-Kyoto,
PGtrans and NEWAT data banks, in the release 4.0 we added a new protein
data bank: SWISS-PROT which contains protein sequences from the PIR
protein data bank and translation of nucleic-acid sequences from the
EMBL nucleotide data library.
Source of data :
Release 4.0 has been updated using the following data banks
SWISS-PROT release 5.0 5205 entries
NBRF-PIR release 13.0 4524 entries
PGtrans release 50.0 6697 entries
PSD-Kyoto release 2.0 3749 entries
NEWAT release 2.0 1140 entries
Availability of PseqIP :
A flat file of PseqIP 4.0 is available upon request by mail only.
We send it on a magnetic tape with the following format :
ASCII card image format
density 1600 bpi
blocksize 4800
80 characters/record
The data bank is distributed with the 'C' source code of an implementa-
tion program and a homology search program.
