BIOTECHNOLOGY INFORMATION SOFTWARE SUPPORT

该项目将提供计算机编程系统设计和相关 软件工程方面的专业知识，以支持 国家生物技术信息中心将进行研究和 分子生物学信息系统的发展。特定领域的 兴趣包括数据库设计、数据表示、数据库查询 方法、序列分析软件、客户端-服务器数据库应用程序 跨局域网和广域网分布、数据库链接和 将先进技术应用于用户界面。占优势的 硬件环境是由大约50个人组成的Urtix网络 Sun SPARC系统，来自Silicon Graphics的大约12个系统，以及 众多的苹果Macintoshes和PC兼容机。主要的数据库 环境为Sybase SQL Server。

The project will provide computer programming systems design and related software engineering expertise in support of intramural efforts by the National Center for Biotechnology Information to conduct research and development in molecular biology information systems. Specific areas of interest include database design, data representation, database query methods, sequence analysis software, client-server database applications distributed across local- and wide-area networks, linking of databases, and application of advanced technologies to user interfaces. The predominant hardware environment is a Urtix network comprised of approximately fifty Sun SPARCsystems, about a dozen systems from Silicon Graphics, as well as numerous Apple Macintoshes and PC-compatibles. The predominant database environment is Sybase SQL Server.
