We have used a local World Wide Web (WWW) server to organize protein and DNA sequences that are used frequently in our laboratory. WWW server programs are available for most computer platforms and are easily set up with minimal computer skills. This approach allows for the easy retrieval of sequence data, which can then be used as input for other analysis programs. This format is especially simple to use in conjunction with WWW database searches. The sequence files may be served to the "public" Internet or kept private by requiring a password for access. Other advantages are (i) sequences can be accessed from multiple computer platforms using the appropriate WWW-browser; (ii) files can be accessed remotely from any computer on the Internet; (iii) only a single sequence format is used, simplifying the updating and archiving of data; and (iv) links to remote files can also be served in addition to local files.
我们使用了一个本地万维网（WWW）服务器来整理我们实验室中经常使用的蛋白质和DNA序列。WWW服务器程序适用于大多数计算机平台，并且只需具备基本的计算机技能就能轻松设置。这种方法便于轻松检索序列数据，然后这些数据可作为其他分析程序的输入。这种格式在与WWW数据库搜索结合使用时特别易于使用。序列文件可以提供给“公共”互联网，或者通过要求输入密码来限制访问以保持私密。其他优点包括：（i）可以使用适当的WWW浏览器从多个计算机平台访问序列；（ii）可以从互联网上的任何计算机远程访问文件；（iii）只使用单一的序列格式，简化了数据的更新和存档；（iv）除了本地文件外，还可以提供到远程文件的链接。
