New BioRS(TM) Release From BIOMAX INFORMATICS AG Combines Database Integration and Retrieval with Sequence Search and Alignment Tools.MARTINSRIED, Germany -- Biomax releases today a new module for the BioRS[TM] Integration and Retrieval System, an application providing simultaneous searches in multiple biological and biomedical bi·o·med·i·cal adj. 1. Of or relating to biomedicine. 2. Of, relating to, or involving biological, medical, and physical sciences. databases. The new module provides standard sequence similarity search and multiple alignment tools for querying nucleotide and protein sequences. With this module, the BioRS query form allows text fields to be searched while simultaneously using Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) similarity and pattern searches with a sequence field. The integrated text and similarity search allows fast and specific results focusing on a topical area. Search results provide access to sequences in different formats as well as pair-wise and multiple sequence alignments A multiple sequence alignment (MSA) is a sequence alignment of three or more biological sequences, generally protein, DNA, or RNA. In general, the input set of query sequences are assumed to have an evolutionary relationship by which they share a lineage and are descended from a .

About the BioRS Integration and Retrieval System The BioRS Integration and Retrieval System quickly and efficiently retrieves biological data from public and proprietary databases. Multiple databases can be searched simultaneously using convenient Web interfaces. Flat-file and relational databases relational database Database in which all data are represented in tabular form. The description of a particular entity is provided by the set of its attribute values, stored as one row or record of the table, called a tuple.
