LANL/Genbank Vector database available for searching via Gopher

[Dan Jacobson]

There has been some discussion in the past week about the need for a cloning
Vector Database and the fact that a set of vector sequences was assembled by 
Los Alamos National Laboratory last spring.  Well now that database is available
for searching via gopher.   A typical entry is as follows:



LOCUS       SYNBL2KSP    2961 bp ds-DNA   Circular  SYN       06-DEC-1991
DEFINITION  pBluescript II KS(+) vector DNA, phagemid excised from lambda ZAPII
ACCESSION   X52327
KEYWORDS    artificial sequence; cloning vector; expression vector; vector.
SOURCE      Cloning vector DNA.
  ORGANISM  Cloning vector
            Artificial sequences; Cloning vehicles.

You may search this database using booleans (and, or, not) as the 
search is running off of Don Gilbert's modified Wais code.

The gopher site is:

Name=Computational Biology (Welchlab - Johns Hopkins University)
Type=1
Port=70
Path=
Host=merlot.welch.jhu.edu


You will find this database search in the following directory:

 -->  10. Search Databases at Welchlab (.....)


Please read the "About these searches" file in the above directory 
as this service is still experimental and there are a few client-specific
bugs.


Note to Gopher administrators:

If you want to make a link to this search I would suggest that you 
link to the directory rather than the search itself as the waisindex 
may change to another machine in the not-too-distant future.




Sincerely,



Dan Jacobson
