Example #1: SwissProt plug-in
Amos Bairoch’s SWISS-PROT is a curated protein sequence database that provides a high-level of annotation, a minimum level of redundancy and a high-level of integration with other databases.
The SwissProt plug-in “swissfs.so” reads in the ~100Mbyte flat-file “sprot.dat” and exports the contents as a read-only directory hierarchy containing several gigabytes of files in various sequence file formats.
