FarFetch—an Internet-based sequence entry server

William A. Gilbert

Whitehead Institute, Nine Cambridge Center Cambridge, MA 02142, USA

This communication is to announce the availabilily of a network server for biological sequence database entries which will allow scientists to fetch entries in a desired format directly into their file store. This server will use TCP/IP protocols allowing any user with an Internet connection to participate. FarFetch will allow users to obtain sequence entries in a directly usable form as opposed to conventional e-mail based sequence retrievers. This server also differs from Gopher and WAIS servers in that the sequence entry is written into the user's file store in a format that is immediately usable. Clients for the OpenVMS, Unix and Macintosh operating systems have been written and are available via anonymous ftp. Development of MS-DOS and Windows clients is planned. There will be no usage fees associated with the server.
