UniGene Tabulator: a full parser for the UniGene format
Department of Histology, Embryology and Applied Biology University of Bologna, 40126 Bologna, Italy
*To whom correspondence should be addressed.
Summary: UniGene Tabulator 1.0 provides a solution for full parsing of UniGene flat file format; it implements a structured graphical representation of each data field present in UniGene following import into a common database managing system usable in a personal computer. This database includes related tables for sequence, protein similarity, sequence-tagged site (STS) and transcript map interval (TXMAP) data, plus a summary table where each record represents a UniGene cluster.
UniGene Tabulator enables full local management of UniGene data, allowing parsing, querying, indexing, retrieving, exporting and analysis of UniGene data in a relational database form, usable on Macintosh (OS X 10.3.9 or later) and Windows (2000, with service pack 4, XP, with service pack 2 or later) operating systems-based computers.
Availability: The current release, including both the FileMaker runtime applications, is freely available at http://apollo11.isto.unibo.it/software/

Supplementary information: We also distribute a precalculated implementation for current Homo sapiens (build #190, March 2006) and Danio rerio (zebrafish, build #90, March 2006) UniGene data.
