Database query with the EBI SRS
SRS stands for Sequence Retrieval System. It is actually the main bioinformtics
database query platform maintained by EBI and other bioinformatics centers
around the world. SRS was originally developed by Etzold and Argos at the
European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in the early 1990'. It was
moved to EBI and being continually developed by a group led by Etzold during
the middle of 1990'. In 1998, SRS became the main bioinformatics product
of the biotechnology company LION Biosciences. Although it was a commercial
software, SRS had been free for academic until 2006 when it was acquired
by Biowisdom.
Query
- Find human hemoglobin alpha chain sequence from Swiss-Prot with ID 'HBA_HUMAN' or Accession 'P69905', use Quick Search, Standard Query Form and Extended
Query Form, compare the difference of search steps and query results
- Find human, mouse and rat hemoglobin alpha chain sequence simultaneously
from SwissProt using ID 'HBA_HUMAN', 'HBA_MOUSE' and 'HBA_RAT), use Standard
Query Form
- Find all hemoglobin alpha chain sequence from SwissProt with ID 'HBA_'
Display and Save
- Display human hemoglobin alpha chain sequence ('HBA_HUMAN) with different
sequence format
- Save all hemoglobin alpha chain sequence (HBA_) with FASTA format
- choose accession, sequence length and species to display and save all
hemoglobin alpha chain sequence (HBA_)
