  Abstract

Summary: Extracting the desired data from a database entry for later analysis is a constant need in the biological sequence-analysis community; GeneRecords 1.0 is a solution for GenBank biological flat file parsing, as it implements a structured representation of each feature and feature qualifier in GenBank following import in a common database managing system usable in a personal computer (Macintosh and Windows environments). This collection of related databases enables the local management of GenBank records, allowing indexing, retrieval and analysis of both information and sequences on a personal computer.

Availability: the current release, including the FileMaker Pro runtime application (built for Windows and Macintosh environments), is freely available at http://apollo11.isto.unibo.it/software/.
