BIOTECHNOLOGY INFORMATION SOFTWARE SUPPORT

该项目将提供计算机编程系统设计和相关 软件工程专业知识，以支持内部的努力， 国家生物技术信息中心进行研究， 分子生物学信息系统。 的特定区域 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 分布在局域网和广域网上，连接数据库， 将先进技术应用于用户界面。 的主要 硬件环境是一个Urtix网络， Sun SPARC系统，来自Silicon Graphics的十几个系统，以及 大量的苹果Macintosh和PC兼容机。 主要数据库 环境是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.
