  1. *With the use of standard BioPerl drivers for GenBank, UniProt, EMBL and SeqHound http://search.cpan.org/~cjfields/BioPerl-1.6.0 and API drivers from EnsEMBL web site http://www.ensembl.org/info/data/api.html, UIDs from source DB can be used for searching in target DB. In some target DBs they are recognized as UID, in others as non-unique IDs (NUID) or not recognized as identifiers (NR). Although same five DBs make the source and target DB lists, the table is not symmetrical.
  2. **, only gi's from GenBank are recognized as UID in SeqHound.
