ACNUC is a database structure and retrieval software for use with either the GenBank or EMBL nucleic acid sequence data collections. The nucleotide textual furnished by both collections are each restructured into that allows on multi-criterion basis. main selection criteria are: species (or higher order taxon), keyword, reference, journal, author, organelle; all logical combinations of these can be used. Direct access to regions code specific product (protein, tRNA rRNA) provided. A versatile extraction procedure copies selected sequences, fragments them, from user files suitable analysed user-supplied application programs. detailed help mechanism provided aid at any time during session. All has been written in FORTRAN 77 which guarantees high degree transportability minicomputers mainframes.
