A new application program, the BIOINFORMATICS PROFILER, is described which simplifies the analysis of new genome sequence information appearing on a daily basis. Control tasks are defined through an intuitive graphical user interface and are executed at user defined nightly intervals. Electronic mail is sent to indicate that search results have been found. All task output is presented to users in the form of hypertext (HTML), allowing easy browsing. Currently supported tasks include BLAST and FastA sequence searching, keyword based searching of network news articles and WAIS databases, examination of GenBank sequence entries using regular expressions and boolean operations and protein sequence motif searching.
