GenomeNet是日本的数据库和计算服务网络，用于基因组研究以及分子和细胞生物学的相关研究领域。它由京都大学化学研究所和东京大学人类基因组中心共同运营。到目前为止，访问GenomeNet最流行的方式是通过它的万维网（WWW）服务器0xttp:// WWW。基因组。广告。(1) DBGET/LinkDB集成数据库检索系统；(2)KEGG：京都基因与基因组百科全书；(3)序列解释工具，如相似性搜索程序；(4)日本基因组相关数据库集合。在这些组件中，DBGET/LinkDB和KEGG是京都m，，，集团开发的独特资源。两者都基于两个数据项之间的链接概念，或者我们称之为二元关系。在DBGET中，一个数据库被简单地看作是一个固定文件的条目集合，每个条目都有一个唯一的标识符，即条目~，~ me或入库号。但是请注意，这里的fiat文件并不一定意味着文本文件；它可以是多媒体文件，例如用于代谢途径图的GIF文件或~ po文件。，-数据文件~。用于RASMOL和其他辅助应用程序。通过数据库名称和条目名称的组合，可以统一检索到世界上多个分子生物学数据库：
GenomeNet is a Japanese network of database and computational services for genome research and related research areas in molecular and cellular biology. It is operated jointly by the Institute for Chemical Research, Kyoto University and the Human Genome Center of the University of Tokyo. By far the most popular mode of access to GenomeNet is through its WorldWide Web (WWW) server 0xttp://www. genome. ad. jp), which consists of four major components:(1) DBGET/LinkDB integrated database retrieval system,(2) KEGG: Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes,(3) sequence interpretation tools such as similarity search programs, and (4) a collection of genome-related databases in Japan. Among these components, DBGET/LinkDB and KEGG are the unique resources that have been developed by m,, group in Kyoto. Both are based on the concept of links between two data items, or what we call binary relations. Especially, we are computerizing biological and functional links of genes and gone products in the KEGG project t.Factual and similarity links In DBGET, a database is simply considered as a fiat-file collection of entries, each of which is~ iven a unique identifier, ie the entry~,~ me or the accession number. Note, however, that a fiat-file here does not necessarily mean a text file; it can be a multimedia file such as a GIF file for the metabolic pathway diagram or a~ po.,-ial duta fil~. for use in RASMOL and other helper applications. A number of molecular biology databases in the world can then be retrieved uniformly by the combination of the database name and the entry name:
