Since the obtention of the complete sequence of Haemophilus influenzae Rd
in 1995, the number of bacterial genomes entirely sequenced has regularly
increased. A problem is that the quality of the annotations of these very
large sequences is usually lower than those of the shorter entries
encountered in the repository collections. Moreover, classical sequence
database management systems have difficulties in handling entries of that
size. In this context, we have decided to build the Enhanced Microbial
Genomes Library (EMGLib) in which these two problems are alleviated. This
library contains all the complete genomes from bacteria already sequenced
and the yeast genome in GenBank format. The annotations are improved by the
introduction of data on codon usage, gene orientation on the chromosome and
gene families. It is possible to access EMGLib through two database systems
set up on World Wide Web servers: the PBIL server at http://pbil.univ-
lyon1.fr/emglib/emglib. html and the MICADO server at
http://locus.jouy.inra.fr/micado
