The Uniform Sequence Address syntax includes a database name which the AJAX library uses to retrieve single sequences, to search for a subset of sequences, or to process an entire database.
Sequence databases can be in a variety of formats, and accessed by a variety of methods.
Sites should leave these in the file for testing purposes, and add as many of their own databases as they need. For each database name, two items are required. The access method tells AJAX how to find an entry, which will be returned as a series of lines of text. The sequence format tells AJAX what format to expect when reading the results. These can be defined as using the same access method, using the attribute method or up to 3 different methods with special suffixes methodentry, methodquery or methodall .
