A comprehensive, non-redundant composite protein sequence database is described. The database, OWL, is an amalgam of data from six publicly-available primary sources, and is generated using strict redundancy criteria. The database is updated monthly and its size has increased almost eight-fold in the last six years: the current version contains > 76,000 entries. For added flexibility, OWL is distributed with a tailor-made query language, together with a number of programs for database exploration, information retrieval and sequence analysis, which together form an integrated database and software resource for protein sequences.
描述了一个全面、无冗余的复合蛋白质序列数据库。该数据库OWL是来自六个公开可用主要来源的数据的融合，并使用严格的冗余标准生成。该数据库每月更新，在过去六年中其规模几乎增长了八倍：当前版本包含超过76,000个条目。为了增加灵活性，OWL随附一种定制的查询语言以及一些用于数据库探索、信息检索和序列分析的程序，这些共同构成了一个用于蛋白质序列的集成数据库和软件资源。
