Abstract
Acedb is one of the more venerable pieces of Genomics software. Acedb was originally created in 1992 by Richard Durbin and Jean Thierry-Mieg to manage the data from the Caenorhabditis elegans mapping project and subsequently the C. elegans sequencing project. From beginnings as a C. elegans-specific tool, it has been continuously developed into a flexible suite of data management, display and scripting tools providing facilities for managing and annotation mapping information and DNA and peptide sequences. This paper gives a basic overview of the Acedb suite, and step-by-step guidance on how to download and install Acedb. It is intended to take an Acedb novice to stage where they can begin to experiment and explore the facilities that are available.Keywords
