A comprehensive, non-redundant composite protein sequence database is described. The database, OWL, is an amalgam of data from six publicly-available primary sources, and is generated using strict redundancy criteria. The database is updated monthly and its size has increased almost eight-fold in the last six years: the current version contains > 76,000 entries. For added flexibility, OWL is distributed with a tailor-made query language, together with a number of programs for database exploration, information retrieval and sequence analysis, which together form an integrated database and software resource for protein sequences.
