SUMMARY: Many databases in molecular biology face the problem that the ever
increasing rate of data production can no longer be handled by traditional
methods, especially human curation. Therefore, a number of projects are
currently investigating methods for automated sequence annotation. This
paper describes the EBI's approach to this problem for protein sequences by
integration of arbitrary analysis programs into a distributed and highly
flexible environment. Our software framework allows an individual treatment
of sequences depending on their particular properties, which is achieved
through a high-level description of the preconditions and capabilities of
analysing modules. This not only improves the overall performance of the
annotation process, as unnecessary steps are avoided, but also enhances its
quality since dependencies between different modules are taken into
account. We have implemented a prototype and use it in the production of
TrEMBL releases. AVAILABILITY: Upon request.
