Furthermore, with its easy-to-use user interface, this software provides the opportunity to build more specialized protein databases from a universal protein sequence database such as Swiss-Prot. It compiles information with relative ease, updates and compares various data relevant to a given protein family and could solve the problem of dispersed biological search results. 2008-02-25 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2105/9/121 Riadh Hammami, Abdelmajid Zouhir, Karim Naghmouchi, Jeannette Ben Hamida, Ismail Fliss .
