Abstract

SUMMARY

Tracker is a web-based email alert system for monitoring protein database searches using HMMER and Blast-P, nucleotide searches using Blast-N and literature searches of the PubMed database. Users submit searches via a web-based interface. Searches are saved and run against updated databases to alert users about new information. If there are new results from the saved searches, users will be notified by email and will then be able to access results and link to additional information on the NCBI website. Tracker supports Boolean AND/OR operations on HMMER and BLASTP result sets to allow users to broaden or narrow protein searches.

摘要

Tracker是一个基于网络的电子邮件警报系统，用于监测使用HMMER和Blast-P进行的蛋白质数据库搜索、使用Blast-N进行的核苷酸搜索以及PubMed数据库的文献搜索。用户通过基于网络的界面提交搜索。搜索被保存并针对更新后的数据库运行，以就新信息向用户发出警报。如果保存的搜索有新结果，用户将通过电子邮件得到通知，然后能够访问结果并链接到NCBI网站上的其他信息。Tracker支持对HMMER和BLASTP结果集进行布尔与/或操作，以允许用户扩大或缩小蛋白质搜索范围。
