Dear Colleague, We are pleased to announce release 2.0 of LiMB, (LIsting of Molecular Biology databases). LiMB contains information about the contents of databases related to molecular biology as well as the details of how they are maintained. It was created to facilitate the process of locating and accessing data sets upon which the research community depends; we believe it will also be of use to those who are doing research in designing and linking these databases. The data in LiMB were gathered from questionnaires and journals. Release 2.0 contains 18 new entries not listed in release 1.2. In addition most of the original entries from releases 1.0 and 1.2 have been updated from questionnaires completed by the staff of the database in question. The data in a LiMB entry are divided into 53 fields or linetypes, (the computer - readable versions of the database are distributed as flat files). The first LiMB entry contains definitions for the data contained in these various fields. Standardized vocabularies have been used where possible (e.g., in the data.pri, data.sec and source lines) to facilitate computer-assisted searches and index- building. The first field in each entry provides a "name" for that entry, usually based on the common acronym/abbreviation for the described database. If you are having problems finding a particular entry using the name with which you are familiar, you should consult the name.now, name.alt and name.bad fields. We have no objections to your using these data for your own purposes or redistributing it. We do request that if you redistribute it or use it in any public forum that you credit our group. (The appropriate formal citation would be: Lawton, J.R., Martinez, F.A., and Burks, C. (1989) `Overview of the LiMB Database'. 17, 5885-5899). If you do redistribute LiMB, we also request that you include a copy of this cover letter with it. Additional copies of LiMB in hardcopy, PC floppy disk or via electronic mail are available upon request. We would greatly appreciate any ideas for improving future releases. We also apologize in advance for any factual errors that appear in the database, and would be grateful if you would inform us of any errors you find. If you know of any molecular biology or related databases not listed here, please inform us so that we may take steps to have them included in the next release.
