The Personal Sequence Database: a suite of tools to create and maintain web-accessible sequence databases
Background: Large molecular sequence databases are fundamental resources for modern bioscientists. Whether for project-specific purposes or sharing data with colleagues, it is often advantageous to maintain smaller sequence databases. However, this is usually not an easy task for the average bench scientist. Results: We present the Personal Sequence Database (PSD), a suite of tools to create and maintain small- to medium-sized web-accessible sequence databases. All interactions with PSD tools occur via the internet with a web browser. Users may define sequence groups within their database that can be maintained privately or published to the web for public use. A sequence group can be downloaded, browsed, searched by keyword or searched for sequence similarities using BLAST. Publishing a sequence group extends these capabilities to colleagues and collaborators. In addition to being able to manage their own sequence databases, users can enroll sequences in BLASTAgent, a BLAST hit tracki...
