* Sequence databases are the databases most molecular biologists are familiar with. These include: Annotated sequence databases (Genbank, EMBL and SWISS-PROT etc) In these databases, each record is annotated and includes reference information in addition to the sequence. This reference information allows the database to be searched using keywords. Annotated sequence databases are typically used for identifying the function of unknown sequences by database similarity searching. If an unknown sequence matches a sequence in one of these databases its function can often be inferred from the annot
