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 tables related 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, are 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.
