MRS: a fast and compact retrieval system for biological data.
The biological data explosion of the 'omics' era requires fast access to many data types in rapidly growing data banks. The MRS server allows for very rapid queries in a large number of flat-file data banks, such as EMBL, UniProt, OMIM, dbEST, PDB, KEGG, etc. This server combines a fast and reliable backend with a very user-friendly implementation of all the commonly used information retrieval facilities. The MRS server is freely accessible at http://mrs.cmbi.ru.nl/. Moreover, the MRS software is freely available at http://mrs.cmbi.ru.nl/download/ for those interested in making their own data banks available via a web-based server.
