PROGRAM CONTENT:

Directory:
Main directory  - program modules
DATA            - files with amino acid physico-chemical properties,
                  manual, examples with input and output files
ALIGNS          - aligned sequences of 50 protein families


MAIN PROGRAM FEATURES     (* - new feature)

- Makes multiple sequence alignment - automatic (Clustal V) and manual,
global and local (in selected region);

- Threads multiple alignment onto known 3-dimensional structure;

- Imports data in all major formats (SWISS-PROT, PIR, FASTA, GCG,
Clustal);

- Imports protein 3D structure from Protein Data Bank files (PDB
format)

- Inputs data on protein activities/property or phenotype;

- Transforms activity values (log (A), ln (A), A/K, A+k, etc.);

* Searches linear and spatial sites, conservative and variable in
changes of specified physico-chemical properties (for example,
helical hydrophobic moment);

* Searches linear and spatial sites, having high and low values of
specified physico-chemical properties (for example, Kyte-Doolittle
hydrophobicity);

* Plots sets of different physico-chemical profiles for individual
protein sequence;

* Plots specified physico-chemical profiles for the set of sequences;

- Searches linear sites in multiple protein alignment and spatial
sites in protein 3D structure influencing protein activity/property;

* Plots average physico-chemical profile for the family of sequences;

* Plots profile of dispersion of physico-chemical profiles for the
family of sequences;

* Plots physico-chemical profiles for protein 3D structure;

- Analyses relationships between site structural characteristics and
protein activities by multiple linear regression analysis;

- Analyses structural differences between proteins divided by
functional, evolutionary or other criteria;

- Investigates physico-chemical factors related with activity changes
in a set of mutant proteins;

* Simulates protein-engineering experiments and predicts protein
activity. Has options for automatic mutant generation (to increase or
decrease protein activity) and for manual mutant generation;

* Predicts activity for newly sequenced proteins;

- Makes protein 3D pictures (mono and stereo) with sites highlighted;

* Has more then 400 amino acid physico-chemical properties;

- Investigates ten types of protein site characteristics, including
average values, helical moments, beta-strand moments, etc.;

- Saves results to the disk and saves pictures to the clipboard;

- Has help and manual.

ProAnWin PERMITS TO OBTAIN NEW RESULTS IMPORTANT IN BIOCHEMISTRY,
MOLECULAR BIOLOGY ETC., AND TO DESIGN PROTEIN ENGINEERING EXPERIMENTS:

1. The program helps to find information that can not be found by
other programs (activity/property-modulating sites, phenotype
defining regions);

2. The user has an opportunity to conduct the analysis of
structure-activity relationships in sequences and 3D structure.

3. The program permits to generate and to check up a plenty of
hypothesis about the role of different sites and their various
physico-chemical characteristics in protein activity, that is rather
difficult or impossible at the "hand-operated" analysis.

4. Search of structure - activity relations is carried out with the
use of multiple regression analysis and the results have statistical
evaluations on reliability.

5. The user has an opportunity to work simultaneously with sequences
and 3D protein structure (sites marked on the sequence are visualized
in 3D structure and vise versa).

6. Alongside with the conventional average physico-chemical
characteristics of a sequence site the user analyzes 9 additional
characteristics of sequential (linear) sites and 5 characteristics
of spatial sites.

7. The program permits considerably to reduce time during creation a
mutant proteins with desired property.

HOW TO START

To investigate protein/peptide family of your interest you should
have or prepare sequence data file(s).  You can use alternatively
sequences data files in FASTA (PEARSON), PIR, SWISS-PROT, CLUSTAL,
GCG formats or in INTERNAL 1 format (3 data files with protein names
(*.seq), protein activities or grouping (*.act) and aligned sequences
(*.ali), see the examples in DATA directory) in the current
directory.  3D protein structure you can take from PDB database.

To use the program follow the steps:

- start the program;
- select sequences of the family you are going to investigate;
- select a file with required physico-chemical properties of amino acids;
- load protein 3D structure (if available);
- define an investigated fragment (or up to 8 fragments);
- define factors for analysis;

and so on.

All other information you'll get from MANUAL.TXT or HELP.

ProAnWin IS USEFUL IN:

- protein structure-function and structure-activity investigations;
- designing proteins and peptides with improved activity;
- making multiple protein alignments and getting sense from it;
- studying phenotype-genotype correlations;
- preparation of protein 3D pictures with sites highlighted;
- protein features analysis;
- comparative protein sequence analysis.

ADDITIONAL NEW SOFTWARE TOOLS ProMSED2, ProAnalyst:

                        ProMSED2

ProMSED2, MS Windows application for both automatic and manual DNA
and protein sequence alignment, editing, comparison and analysis.
ProMSED2 is the enhancement of ProMSED made according to user's
remarks and suggestions. The program reads main sequence formats and
performs automatic alignments, alignment visualization and editing
and it allows sequences to be aligned interactively leaving unchanged
previously aligned regions. The program has an user-friendly
interface. Manual alignment and sequence analysis are facilitated by
coloring schemes reflecting amino acid similarity in mutational,
physico-chemical and other properties. Although ProMSED was targeted
at protein sequences, it can be used on DNA sequences as well. The
program provides flexible tool for sequences alignment, analysis,
visualization, edition and presentations.

Here I must disagree with you to some extent. Seqlab joins the selected
CDS's before it translates and aligns them. Thus it properly takes care of
codons splitted by introns when you select all exons simultaneously. 
If you select separately the exons coding for one single protein, then you
may get quite a wrong translated sequence. 

Let's take the example of L29190 once again. If I do what Steve suggested
I get the correct protein sequence aligned to corresponding exons :

...ATGGGGGCGATG (...) ACCCGCGCTG//GTGAG (...) CCCAG//GCTCACACTCGCTGA...
...M~~G~~A~~M~~ (...) T~~R~~A~~G//~~~~~ (...) ~~~~~//~~S~~H~~S~~L~~R...


If I select each exon separately though, I get :

...ATGGGGGCGATG (...) ACCCGCGCTG//GTGAG (...) CCCAG//GCTCACACTCGCTGA...
...M~~G~~A~~M~~ (...) T~~R~~A~~X
...~~~~~~~~~~~~ (...) ~~~~~~~~~~//~~~~~ (...) ~~~~~//A~~H~~T~~R~~*~~

                           ...which, obviously, is not what we want...

(// to show splice junctions are mine)



Of course, if more than one protein is coded by your genomic sequence,
then you'd better select each one separately to avoid the problem you
encountered. But, again, all exons for every single protein should be 
selected simultaneously.

In any case though, you should check that the first selected exon is
translated in the correct reading frame. Which may not be the case
if it is not exon1... In this case, I'm afraid you'll need to select
the first exon at the sequence level to exclude the first one or two 
bases.

Cheers,
Fred

Terry, 

You might try tnimage a shareware (dos based) image analysis package
that is very good and has a scripting language that will let you do what
you want.  Another package that is Win95 based is imagetool again with a
scripting language that will do what you want.  Imagetool is freeware (I
believe). There is also a PC version of NIH Image (Scion image) that can
do it. 

I am assuming however that you are using background substraction or edge
detection to define your closed areas and then summing those areas to
get your final result.  You might also consider that if you have a tool
that does what you want, why change it.  

Numerous image processing packages that can do what you want and much
more are also available under Linux and and both they and Linux are free


TN-Image is at http://las1.ninds.nih.gov/

Imagetool is at http://ddsx.uthscsa.edu/dig/itdesc.html

Scion Image is at http://www.scioncorp.com/

Oops - sorry folks.... Just read note 15 of the readme file..

15. The standard command line separator for UNIX systems has been
changed from
'/' to '-'. ie. to give options on the command line, you now type

     clustalw input.aln -gapopen=8.0

instead of  clustalw input.aln /gapopen=8.0


Cheers (blushing...)

The latest version (1.7) I picked up didn't have a makefile.sun file

edited it so that CC points to gcc:

Then run 'make -f makefile.sun' and all is great (Sun Solaris 2.5.1,

Hi folks,

So far, the new release of clustalw works fine for me when used
interactively, but if I use command line parameters, like:

clustalw tmp.seq /gapopen=15.0 /gapext=0.1

I get the following error:

ERROR: Could not open sequence file tmp.seq/gapopen=15.0/gapext=0.1

So it seems that it looses the whitespace between the command line
arguments (this was on unix - SGI irix and DEC OSF/1)


Any suggestions ?

Hi All:  
I am looking for a Photoshop plug-in that will measure the area of an
outline object.  A commercial package that I looked at (The Image
Processing Tool Kit CD) comes with 50 plug-in, 49 of which I don't really
need, and cost $250.  NIH Image can do this but it is limited to 8-bit
color. Does anyone out there of a cheap (i.e., share- or freeware) that
will just measure area using Photoshop?  Thanks.

A new BLAST service for the recently released microbial genomes from
The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR) is now available 
from the BLAST home page at this URL:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/BLAST/

or directly from:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/BLAST/nph-tigrbl

These unfinished genomes are not yet available in GenBank or
Entrez. The genomes are searchable via TBLASTN (a user's protein query
vs. a 6-frame translation of the microbial DNA sequences) using the new
gapped BLAST algorithm (Altschul et al., 1997, submitted).

Hi. 

Has anyone heard of a program that models the electrical acivity of the
heart, out-putting in 4 dimensions (3 for direction, one for strength of
signal) over time?  (I guess that's 5 dimensions overall).

Please email me if you have any advice, or know where I should look:

I have created a little utility that loads as fast as notepad and takes any

If anybody is interested then I can put it on my website for some time..

I have a little problem: Recently I stumbled over the nice program
Molscript, written by a man named Dr. Per Kraulis from Sweden.
On several pages dealing with this program, it has been said, that one
must obtain a permission from Dr. Kraulis to download and use Molscript,
and that it is free of charge for academic usage.

I wrote two letters to two different mail-adresses of Mr. Kraulis, but

Does anyone know the actual adress of Dr. Kraulis or anyone who is in

(what to send to which adress or whatever).

Thanks in advance!

  structure records is now fully integrated into Sequin.  As before, users
  can download sequences from Entrez to view or to edit and resubmit to the
  databases.  Now, users can also view any type of record on demand from within
  Sequin.  Users are reminded that they can only update their own records this
  way.

. PowerBLAST, a version of the client for the popular BLAST software
  for sequence comparisons, is now available from within Sequin.  Users
  can compare their sequence to sequences in the nucleotide and protein
  databases and view the from results within Sequin.

. A new algorithm is now used to calculate global sequence alignments.
  You can have Sequin calculate and display the alignment between a
  sequence in the record and another sequence in a file.  In the sequence
  editor, select the option "Align with" under the Edit menu.

. Sequin will now recognize sequence alignments which have been saved in
  NEXUS Interleaved and NEXUS Contiguous formats.  Examples of these formats
  are in the Sequin help documentation.

. Records can now be viewed with two new Display Formats, Summary and Sequence.
  Summary format shows the range of any sequence alignments in the record.
  Sequence format shows the sequence(s) in the record along with any
  associated features.

. The location of certain menu items has been changed.  All features
  and descriptors are now accessed from the Annotate menu.

. A variety of minor bugs have been fixed (affecting all platforms).

Dear netters,
 I need a C function library which can read GenBank feature table
and extract sequnece fragments. For example, it should be able to
read mRNA tag, read fragment positions, and extract fragments.
Is there any software or C module which can do it?

Is there any program out there that converts files in standard genbank
nucleotide format into a fasta file with all of the ORF translations?  All
of the information is in the file, it would just be a pain to do it by
hand.  Otherwise, is there any copies of the E.coli genome with the
translated ORFs in fasta form?

thanks,
trevor bezdek

Dear Marc,

Per Kraulis is currently with Pharmacia - however, you can ask for permission 
to copy Molscript from anyone who has a registered version and send Kraulis 
e.mail to that effect ("Per Kraulis" <per.kraulis@sto.pharmacia.se>).

The source code is made available (in Fortran) and you can then compile it for 
your machine.

Please contact me if you wish to copy the program from us.

Hi Betsy,
Could you please provide me with more info on hastings software.
I have a win3.1 ver of Generunner which I purchased when I was in Canada. I 
like its performance in DNA manupulations but it has prcatically no plasmid 
drawing capabilities. I am wondering if they have released a more advanced 
win95 version. Could you send me theit Fax/www address.

Thanx very much for your help.

The current readseq will not do feature table parsing nor
the requested ORF cutting and pasting.  It doesnt' have any
particular file or sequence size limit, so it probably will
convert from genbank to fasta formats okay for large sequences.

I am working on a new version of readseq in conjuntion with a
new SeqPup.  It will likely come in C++ and Java source, but not 
C source.  I've no idea when this updated readseq may be available.

I wrote a few practical and simple to use programs which facilitate your
daily work in the lab such as predicting the size of DNA fragments after
digestion (graphical) with restriction enzymes.

I would like to make these programs accessible to a broad user group by
the Internet. All programs have been tested on MacOS and Windows95.

My programs are accessible over the WWW and made functional using
Netscape 2.x or Internet Explorer 2.x or higher in association with a
free plugin which you have to download and install first.

This is what you do:

- Download the Roadster plugin

http://www.unizh.ch/vetvir/plugin.html)

install it on your computer.


- Then connect to:

http://www.unizh.ch/vetvir/programs.html

That's it !!

These are my programs which make your live as a molecular biologist
easier !

Find here a few more examples or my programs:

a. Digest Preview:
Enter the size(s) of your DNA fragment(s) and see their migration
pattern
in a virtual gel in comparison to a 1 kb ladder.

b. Adapter Design:
Helps to create in frame adapters in order to link incompatible DNA ends
together.

c. Dilution Calculator:
Does all the calculations when you have to make up solutions

There are many other programs such as Oligo Tm, Compatible ends etc.

Please have a look, comments are welcome!

Have fun

Trevor,

there is readseq (from Don Gilbert), but I doubt it will work on the
E.coli genome! If you do a www search with "gilbert readseq" you will
get quite a few hits!  Here is one possibility:

ftp://iubio.bio.indiana.edu/molbio/readseq/

(but there are many other implementation on the www)

yes, we maintain these at NCBI, as we have them as blastable databases.
for our various BLAST serveices

See:

ftp://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/db/ecoli.aa.Z

and:

ftp://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/db/ecoli.nt.Z

These are the sequences from Fred Blattner's group.

TRANSFAC 3.2 is available now at:

	http://transfac.gbf.de.

On the TRANSFAC server, you will find also the sequence analysis
programs

	PatSearch
	MatInspector
	SaGa
	FastM

and Thure Etzold's SRS5 with a large collection of databases.


TRANSFAC is a database about eukaryotic transcription factors 
and their binding sites.

It consists of six cross-linked tables:

	SITE
	CELL
	FACTOR
	CLASS
	MATRIX
	GENE

It is also cross-linked with TRRD (Transcription Regulatory 
Region Database) and COMPEL from the ICG, Novosibirsk (N. A.
Kolchanov, A. E. Kel). It contains numerous cross-references
to external databases such EMBL, SWISSPROT, PIR, FLYBASE, 
EPD, and PROSITE. For further details see Wingender et al.,
Nucleic Acids Res. 25:265-268, 1997.

NEW FEATURES are:

-	Additional FACTOR and SITE entries,
-	cross-references to PDB,
-	comprehensive linkage of FACTOR entries with a proposed
	transcription factor classification sytem
	(http://transfac.gbf.de/TRANSFAC/cl/cl.html).

The TRANSFAC database comes along with several sequence analysis
tools such as 
-	PatSearch, which uses the sequence information contained
	in the SITE table for analysis of submitted sequences,
-	MatInspector, using a library of matrices selected from
	the TRANSFAC MATRIX table (see Quandt et al., Nucleic
	Acids Res. 23:4878-4884, 1995).

Moreover, the TRANSFAC server provides a new program (SaGa:
structural analysis with genetic algorithms, developed by
Stefan Meier) which can be used to identify structural
characteristics in the environment of aligned functional 
sites, e.g., transcription factor binding sites. SaGa uses a
library of structural parameters developed by H. Sklenar and
coworkers (MDC, Berlin; see Karas et al., CABIOS 12:441-446, 1996).

The SRS5 system implemented on the TRANSFAC server comprises the
following databases, in addition to the TRANSFAC  tables:

	EMBL, EMBLNEW
	SWISSPROT, SWISSNEW
	TREMBL
	REMTREMBL
	SPTREMBL
	PIR
	EPD
	PDB
	PROSITE
	ENZYME

EMBLNEW is now updated daily on the TRANSFAC SRS-Site with the
new files from European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) in Hinxton.

You want to extract the translation supplied by GenBank, right?

My script to do this is available via the following URL:

Am I missing something or can you not just convert the image to 8bit to do
your measurements and use NIH Image?  You're not measuring
'sum-of-pixel-values' are you? - You just want to count the # of pixels
included.

If your time is an issue, then maybe you should consider buying the pkg you
mention.

The last "current opinion in struct biol" (june 97) has a review about software 
predicting N-terminal sorting sequences. Perhaps this can help you.

This is a message to all users of program DYNAFIT 
-----------------------------------------------------------------

DynaFit executable files (PowerMac, DOSbox under Win31,Win95,WinNT)
were updated to version 2.16[f].  Improvements were made in the 
module for automatic determination of confidence intervals for
rate constants.

An example problem was added, based on experimental data published
in [1]. This paper contains 97 differential and algebraic equations
and three mathematical appendices that describe the kinetics of 
competitive binding in the system thrombin-dehydrothrombin-hirudin.
Nevertheless, this complicated formal treatment is based on several
simplifying assumptions; the fitting parameters are composite or 
derived kinetic constants.

In contrast, in DYNAFIT [2] the kinetic problem is formulated simply
by using the following text:

   [mechanism]

      E + L <===> EL  :  k1   k2
      F + L <===> FL  :  k3   k4

where E is thrombin, F is chemically modified thrombin, and L
is hirudin.  The analysis is completely general, not resting on
any assumptions except the mass action law.  The adjustable 
parameters in the fitting model are microscopic rate constants
k1-k4, not composite or derived kinetic constants.

The executable files and the expanded test files can be 
downloaded from http://www.biokin.com/dynafit/files/.

In article <5pqvae$9hd$1@dismay.ucs.indiana.edu>, you write:

Ugh, double ugh, no, triple ugh.  PLEASE check the C++ version on multiple 
compilers before releasing it. I've had miserable luck porting C++ code to
run outside of the original compiler (/platform) environments.  In fact,
the situation is so bad that I currently consider C++ to be a nonportable
language.  Take the average g++ program and try to build it with DEC C++
(Unix or OpenVMS), you'll succeed maybe 10% of the time.  Even C++ packages
that are carefully maintained to be cross platform, such as Amulet, won't
work from release to release on some compilers (ie, the new Metrowerks for
Mac/Windows will no longer build it.) 

Java is by design portable, but on the flip side, is slower than molasses
for anything big. So the Java version will probably be ok for a single
sequence conversion, but I'd hate to have to funnel a few thousand conversions
through a Java readseq.

Dear netters,

could somebody tell me how to save GenBank sequences displayed in .html
format (from searches at the www server) as .gb files, so I can use the
to import into other programs and use the feature tables?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Try using Executor; you can download a free trial version from this Mac
system 6 emulator for IBM's. I'm not very much into it myself, but you
should be able to copy files to the IBM harddisc with it. Be sure to use
shorter names with a correct three-letter extension.

But why bother? Mac's can write to an IBM formatted disc; MS Word (and
most other programs) can write out their own files to different other
types. So you should be able to do it with just the Mac used to create the
files.

I have written a Fungi Identification programme, which covers all the higher
Fungi of the UK.
It is a relational database using English to Maths related tables the core
programme is Microsoft Access, 
I use Access 97 but I can create the programme for all the previous versions. In
summary these are the programme features
1. Species Identification using queries pre or self designed.
2. Species Identification using Keys, based on Mosers book.
3. A second user created database recording all the features of a found
specimen.
4. Other fields within the database are used for puposes other than
identification ie, Rarity, Edible/Poisionous
Seasons etc. The programme will record the number of time a species occurs over
time indicating local decline/growth.
I could go on but I wish to be brief, an article entitled Fungi Identification &
Recording System (FIRS) will be printed
in the quarterly British Mycological Society magazine, next issue in fact.
I wish to gauge the interest in this programme which is near completion. The
programme is fininshed and is populated with
2,700 species I have about 300 to go and then some tidying up.
I originally never designed it for sale but for my own uses, however it has
proved very succesful.
I can sell the programme to others who have Microsoft Access as is, if you do
not I can sell a runtime version
of Microsoft Access with the Fungi programme. This is providing I invest in a
developers toolkit. 
If you are interested and wish to know more mail me at lwatson@clara.net it has
taken two years and
thousands of hours of work to create this programme so if you expect it to be
free don't get in touch. It is likely
to be sold to genuine amateur mycologists for 60-70 pounds dependant on the
interest.

Thank you for your time in reading this article.

NOTE: As of June 26, the National Library of Medicine (NLM) is providing
free WWW access to its MEDLINE database (see http://www.nlm.nih.gov for
further information).

Below is the text of the NLM Fact Sheet announcing the PubMed WWW retrieval
system (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed).




                              PubMed

              MEDLINE Retrieval on the World Wide Web 


PubMed is a World Wide Web retrieval service developed by the National
Library of Medicine (NLM).  PubMed provides access, free of charge, to
MEDLINE, a database of nearly 9 million bibliographic citations and
abstracts in the fields of medicine, nursing, dentistry, veterinary
medicine, health care systems, and preclinical sciences.  PubMed also
contains links to full text versions of articles at participating
publishers' Web sites.  PubMed also provides access and links to the
integrated molecular biology databases maintained by the NCBI.  These
databases contain DNA and protein sequences, genome mapping data, and
3-D protein structures.  Additional NLM bibliographic databases, such
as AIDSLINE, will be added to PubMed.


MEDLINE

MEDLINE is the NLM's premier bibliographic database, containing
citations and author abstracts from over 3800 biomedical journals
published in the United States and in 70 foreign countries.  Coverage
extends back to 1966 and new material is incorporated weekly.  All
citations in MEDLINE are assigned subject headings from the MeSH
vocabulary to assist users in their searches.


Searching PubMed

PubMed is an easy-to-use search tool for finding journal articles of
interest in the health and medical sciences.  A basic search screen
allows users to search by entering a few key words or phrases.  A set
of article titles is retrieved and their associated abstracts can be
selected for viewing.  A unique feature of PubMed is the ability to
find all related articles to a given article instantly.  Related
articles are pre-computed based on textual similarity.

Advanced search modes offer the ability to perform more complex
searches by specifying data fields and by using Boolean logic to
combine multiple search terms.  A special clinical query page provides
customized searches for studies based on etiology, diagnosis,
prognosis, or treatment of a particular disease.  Search results can be
viewed in various formats, including formats suitable for downloading
into bibliographic reference manager software.

For journals participating in the PubMed project and which have Web
sites, there are links to the full-text of retrieved articles.  Note
that these links are made to the Web sites of participating publishers
and may require users to register before being able to view the
full-text.  Currently there are 24 full-text journals participating.

The URL for PubMed is:  

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed


Publisher Participation

Publishers with WWW sites that provided access to the full-text of
their journals are invited to participate in PubMed if their journals
are already indexed in MEDLINE.  Participating publishers supply NLM
with formatted citations and abstracts prior to or at the time of
publication.  In turn NLM creates the PubMed links to the articles at
the publishers' sites.  NLM also provides citation matching in order to
link the citations in the reference section of an article directly back
to citations in MEDLINE.

The AAT email server at Michigan Tech identifies genes in a DNA sequence
by comparing the query sequence against cDNA and protein sequence databases:
(1) Human_Gene_Index, a database of human cDNA sequences at TIGR,
(2) dbEST, a database of EST sequences at NCBI,
(3) SwissProt, a database of protein sequences at University of Geneva,
(4) nr, a database of non-redundant protein sequences at NCBI.

Author: Xiaoqiu Huang (Email: huang@cs.mtu.edu)
Dept. of Computer Science, Michigan Technological Univ., Houghton, MI 49931

The analysis and annotation tool (AAT) includes two sets of programs,
one for comparing the query sequence with the protein database,
and the other for comparing the query with the cDNA database.
Each set contains a fast database search program and
a rigorous alignment program. The database search program
quickly identifies regions of the query sequence that
are similar to a database sequence. Then the
alignment program constructs an optimal alignment
for each region and the database sequence.  The alignment
program also reports the coordinates of exons in the query sequence.
Each alignment program handles the problem of introns.
The DNA-protein alignment program corrects frameshifts.
The AAT tool reduces the labor-intensive work of locating the exons
of the query sequence and improves the process of defining intron/exon
boundaries by using the wealth of available protein and cDNA data.

If you run a health related Web site then there is now an opportunity to
get some money back for all your hard work and provide a useful service to
your readers. The Healthworks Shop Partnership Scheme allows participating
Web sites to earn commission on sales of medical information products by
just adding an extra page to their sites.

Healthworks are one of the worlds leading distributors of electronic
medical information products, they are Internet trade veterans with over
two years experience of selling CD-ROMs and videotapes from their Web
site.

The partnership deal enables Web sites to make money and provide a useful
service to their visitors. For the smaller sites it can earn them enough to
cover all their running costs at the least, the more popular sites can
create a substantial income for their organisations.

Shop Scheme partners can offer the complete range of over 600 medical
information products and gain commission on sales of 7-10%. With the
average price of a medical CD-ROM at 300, partners make a good profit on
each sale.

The scheme utilises a commerce system, specially designed by Information
Central Limited, to enable simple set-up and administration by anyone with
basic HTML skills.

The partnership process is simple: 1.Register your interest with
Healthworks and a member of staff will view your Web site. 2. If you are
approved you will be given simple instructions on how to set up your shop
page. 3. A few minutes of HTML programming and you are up and running. 4.
Sit back and wait for your monthly sales commissions.

To find out more look at the Healthworks Web site at: http://www.healthworks
.co.uk/hw/partner/CDpartner.html or e-mail: partners@d-access.demon.co.uk
