An integrated database system “HyperGenome” for genome maps and DNA sequences was developed. The system can handle two different types of data, each of which has an unique complex structure. Graphical user interface (GUI) enables ready retrieval of information obtained from genome mapping data and data on DNA sequences. Data on mapping are derived from the Genome Data Base (GDB) and sequence data are from GenBank.
The following information was added to the system. 1. Mendelian Inheritance in Man (MIM) entries can be linked to a locus in our system. 2. Amino asid sequences from Protein Identification Resources (PIR) can be displayed, in conjunction with the nucleotide sequence.
