Abstract
A system and method for providing flexible access and retrieval of sequence data from a plurality of biological data repositories is described. A plurality of biological data repositories are maintained. Each data repository contains sequence data stored into structured records uniquely identified. Each data repository is interfaced through a queue handler dynamically locating and selecting at least one such biological data repository and launching a search query against each selected biological data repository. Search query parameters are accepted from a user specifying a search request for a sequence set. Results obtained from a search engine are presented as ordered tables of search results.
