| 'Harvester': a fast meta search engine of human protein resources (2004) | |||||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||||
| Summary: We have developed a Web-based tool named ‘Harvester’ that bulk-collects bioinformatic data on human proteins from various databases and prediction servers. The information on every single protein is assembled on a single HTML page as a combination of database screen-shots and plain text. A full text meta search engine, similar to Google™, allows screening of the whole genome proteome for current protein functions and predictions in a few seconds. With Harvester it is now possible to compare and check the quality of different database entries and prediction algorithms on a single page. A feedback forum allows users to comment on Harvester and to report database inconsistencies. Availability: The service is freely available to the academic community at http://harvester.embl.de. | |||||||||||||
