GeneHuggers: Database mining and application connectivity tools for subsequence analyses of the human genome

Abstract

Summary: GeneHuggers is a collection of program modules that enables precise selection of subsequence regions from records of the RefSeq human genome database. Subsequence regions can be selected based on diverse criteria, including feature addresses, annotations from LocusLink and UniGene, and results obtained from analyses with homologous subsequence detection programs. GeneHuggers provides functionality to the UNIX operating system that allows customized bioinformatics program development.
