Smith M, Dr Victor Kunin, Goldovsky L, Enright AJ, Ouzounis CA MagicMatch--cross-referencing sequence identifiers across databases. Bioinformatics 21:16p.3429-30. June 16, 2005. PMID:15961438 MOTIVATION: At present, mapping of sequence identifiers across databases is a daunting, time-consuming and computationally expensive process, usually achieved by sequence similarity searches with strict threshold values. SUMMARY: We present a rapid and efficient method to map sequence identifiers across databases. The method uses the MD5 checksum algorithm for message integrity to generate sequence fingerprints and uses these fingerprints as hash strings to map sequences across databases. The program, called MagicMatch, is able to cross-link any of the major sequence databases within a few seconds on a modest desktop computer. You must log in to comment articles |
