GeneNest: automated generation and visualization of gene indices.

positive feedback from these externalusers, we recommend our RUMMAGEannotation service to everyone whowants to get a quick and comprehen-sive overview of genomic sequencedata.The RUMMAGE SequenceAnnotation Service is available athttp://gen100.imb-jena.de/~baumgart/rummage/register.html. The URL leadsto a registration form that has to be sub-mitted before the first use. This is necessary to provide a user-specific pass-word, which ensures confidential treat-ment of the sequence data and the corresponding annotation results. Assoon as the password is assigned, eachuser may run as many jobs as desired.
