AliasServer: a web server to handle multiple aliases used to refer to proteins.

AliasServer provides services that facilitate the assembly of data or datasets that make use of different identifiers for refering to the same protein. This resource relies on a database which contains, for a given organism, a non-redundant list of protein sequences associated with a set of aliases. AliasServer is available as an interactive Web server at http://cbi.labri.fr/outils/alias/ and as a web service using a SOAP interface. The complete tool, including sources and data, is available for local installations upon request. Technical documentation is available at http://cbi.labri.fr/outils/alias/asdoc.pdf
