As licensed GCG products, use of either interface to GCG is restricted to the NIH campus. Printing is as easy as printing a browser page, and graphics appear automatically in the browser window. However, there are some important differences between the two interfaces. GCG-Lite is a purely interactive Web interface. Thus, results appear in the browser window only, and users must save or print them for later reference.
Some programs allow direct loading of sequences from the database.
GCG-Lite does not require a username or password for its use. SeqWeb will store files in the user s account. Sequences can be downloaded from the databases and saved indefinitely. Results are saved as well, but only for 2 weeks. SeqWeb use requires Helix Systems account username and password.
