SRS (Sequence Retrieval System) is installed locally (version 7.1.3.2) and runs on the [cluster] server. It is used to manage over 60 of the most popular public biological databases (DBs), such as EMBL, UNIPROT, REFSEQ, ENTREZGENE, UNIGENE, PFAM, INTERPRO, PATHWAY, PDB and many others (see SRS databases). Databases produced in house are easily integrated into SRS, allowing researchers to compare and link local data with public ones. Many applications, such as those of the EMBOSS package, are integrated into SRS.
How to reach SRS at CEINGE
- SRS is available directly from the Bioinfo website (look for
) or at the address http://bioinfo.ceinge.unina.it/srs7131/ .
- By using the SRS web interface, it is possible to query DBs by string and/or numerical words. The system, in fact, indexes the words contained in almost fields of records within the databases and creates specific indices; these inidices are quickly scanned when queries are performed, allowing rapid retrieve of those data which satisfy the search criteria. SRS also allows to create personal views of the data and to launch many applications directly from the wed interface.
- More details about SRS and how to use it are available here
The system
- SRS, developed at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) and by the Biowisdom company and used by major research centres, is very easy to use because it provides a single interface for access to the biological databases (DBs) and creates links for multiple searches. Thus, data from various DBs can be compared with each other and with locally produced data. Researcher can also create personal projects and store, retrieve and further access all performed queries and relative results.
