whichdb

whichdb identifies sequence databases that contain specified sequence entries within the EMBOSS software ecosystem.

Key Features:

• Database Identification: Searches across multiple sequence databases to determine which contain a given sequence entry.
• EMBOSS Integration: Integrated into the EMBOSS suite and operates within EMBOSS components.
• Third-Party Integration: Interacts with various third-party software packages available to EMBOSS.
• ACD-Based Configuration: Utilizes EMBOSS Application Configuration Description (ACD) files for application configuration and customization.
• EMBOSS C Libraries: Built to run within EMBOSS's C programming libraries.

Scientific Applications:

• Molecular Biology Research: Facilitates locating sequence records across databases to support comparative studies and meta-analyses.
• Data Management: Supports organizing and tracking the distribution of sequence entries across databases for dataset management.

Methodology:

Operates within the EMBOSS framework using EMBOSS's C programming libraries and relies on Application Configuration Description (ACD) files for application configuration.
