It was difficult to foresee howquickly the number of publications would explode, which soon made it ahuge task to keep SeqAnalRef uptodate. SeqAnalRef was initiated by Amos Bairoch in In fact, it originatedfrom his personal collection of interesting publications in the field ofsequence analysis and bioinformatics. At the same time, Medline evolved from resource, access to which asubscription was required, to publicly available database. SeqAnalRef has not been updated since 1996.

It startedto include more and more bioinformaticrelated journals, thus cateringnot only for physicians and wetlab biologists but also for bioinformaticians. At the same time, Medline evolved from resource, access to which asubscription was required, to publicly available database. SeqAnalRef has not been updated since 1996. However, we chose to keep the last SeqAnalRef release accessible throughExPASy, as it does contain number of abstracts, mainly of paperspublished in mathematical and computerrelated journals, which are stillnot included in PubMed..
