Release 39 of the EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Database, June 1994, is built and
available on the EMBL network servers.
The EMBL nucleotide sequence database was frozen to make Release 39 on 6th June
1994. The release contains 182,615 sequence entries comprising 192,195,819
nucleotides. This represents an increase of about 8% over Release 38. The
main change is the introduction of a new database division for sequences of
sequence tagged sites (STS).
A breakdown of Release 39 by database division is shown below:
