GNOME is a sequence data management tool through which users can efficiently access e-mail servers for various molecular biological analyses on Internet including GenomeNet. It supports BLAST/FASTA servers for homology searches, PROSITE/MotifDic servers for motif searches, and bget/bfind servers for DB entry retrievals. One of its most eminent features is that it can not only send e-mails for queries but also receive and manage e-mails for replies. In addition, its interface is very user-friendly. Therefore, it should considerably enhance efficient and profound analyses of newly-determined sequence data in both individual biological researches and large-scale genome projects
