A novel open system provides molecular biologists seamless access to remote biological databases. This distributed computing environment enhances local workstation capabilities for complex data processing and research activities.

Area of Science:

  • Biological Sciences
  • Computer Science
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Molecular biologists require efficient access to large, distributed biological databases for research.
  • Existing computational environments may present challenges in integrating diverse data sources and processing capabilities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe an open system, distributed computing environment tailored for the Biological Sciences.
  • To enable molecular biologists to perform complex processing activities from their local workstations.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a transparent interface within a computer network using Network Computing System (NCS).
  • Development of an application system that routes requests to a remote database server for data retrieval.
  • Ensuring all database access is transparent to the end-user.
