The Web version derived from PIR-International has hot links to the following Databases:
<ul>
<li><b>GenBank</b> - DNA Sequence Database
<li><b>DDBJ</b> - The DNA Data Bank of Japan
<li><b>EC-Enzyme</b> - The EC Enzyme Classification Database
<li><b>GDB</b> - The Genome Data Base
<li><b>Refbase</b> - A Protein Sequence Citation Database
</ul>
<p>
Many of which have links among themselves and to other databases as well.
<p>
<b>Searching:</b>
<p>
You may search this database using booleans (and, or, not), nested booleans, wildcards (*), and
phrase searches ("   ").  The maximum number of results returned is currently 200.
<p>
For Example: A search for - <p>
<i> reverse and transcriptase </i><p>
<p>
will pull out all the reverse transcriptases.
<p>
A search for -
<p>
<i> reverse and transcriptase not immunodeficiency </i>
<p>
will narrow the search down a bit by screening the HIV and associated entries.
