From putative promoter sequence to genomic context : biological data collection on the web using a generic application (Xprom)

The great diversity of biological web resources and the different rationale used by the biologists to answer a given query makes it difficult to predict all possible scenarios at once. A generic application (Xprom) has thus been designed and developed to allow any possible scenario to be implemented. Xprom is based on a generic scenario model represented by an XML DTD.
