Database design for debate on sequential data of biopolymers

Abstract

In order to internationally facilitate useful and effective debates on biopolymers by reducing indistinguishability between different reports of an indentical phenomenon and of different materials, we have designed a database and constructed a prototype system. The database is design to treat any data as if it is an independent journal article by giving a registry number. A data is a question, an opinion, or a comment on a journal article on biopolymer. It may be a counterargument on one of the registered opinions. We have collected about 200 cases of relevant data on coding redions, intron nucleotide sequences, tRNA sequences which seems not to form cloverleaf structures. As one of the byproducts, we found a cluster of putative tRNA genes in a ceratin Gram-positive bacterium. The database will be open near future.
