WEB SERVICE BASED GENOMIC DATA RETRIEVAL

Abstract

An application of web service for genomic data retrieval is considered. Records for nucleotide sequences are retrieved from the European Nucleotide Archive and preprocessed locally in order to be able to apply local host based analysis. This analysis is required because many of the built-in EMBL-EBI services pose restrictions upon the metrics with which will operate the user, what in some cases may also affect the structure of the solution, such as when performing pairwise or multiple DNA or mRNA comparison.
