This option would typically be used in conjunction with FA-Index to create subset databases. The species filtering mechanism has been expanded to allow searches limited to a collections of species and searches which exclude certain species. PTC added as an N terminal group option. Additional options added to the DNA frame translation parameter. The digest cleavage rules are defined in a file.
Licensees can thus add new digests or modify existing ones.
The list of available options for the database, terminal groups, cysteine modification, digest and species parameters are defined in one place for all the programs, for easier updating by licensees. Licensees can now run FA-Index from a browser page. Also new entries can be added to existing databases and databases can be created from scratch. A database summary report has also been added. The file contains an alphabetic listing of the species aliases which occur more than ten times in a given database, for easier creation of species collections by licensees.
