II. Product Summary Jubilant Biosys has created some content products in the bioinformatics and chemoinformatics area. These products leverage Jubilant s curation services to incorporate extensive curated databases with structured query modules and front-ends for data retrieval. The content is for the drug discovery process, specifically in the areas of target prioritization and lead identification. The databases are available in Oracle, SD format, and ISIS/Base DB formats and can be exported. The database can be queried across text, structure, substructure and sequences with built-in query modules. Some of the key parameters on which information is curated are ... 

SeqHound is the basis for many of Blueprint s applications. The BIND Interaction Viewer 3.0 queries SeqHound to recover sequence annotation and interaction information. SeqHound has been used as a back end to replace all previous calls to the NCBI for retrieval of data such as GenBank records, taxonomy traversal, DNA and protein sequence by taxonomy ID or organism, 3D neighbors, and GO traversal. Recently the SeqHound API has been incorporated into Tavema [15], which allows biologists to assemble Web services into a pipeline. The current Web interface allows access only to the sequence aspects of the database, as the primary aim of SeqHound was to be a resource for programmers. However, a more fully featured interface is under development, which will make most of the API s functionality available to nonprogrammers.
