Statistical summarisation of collated data

The nuccore.go program collates the lengths of sequences in the Entrez nuccore database and sends the results to the public.opencpu.org server to calculate summary statistics and plot a density distribution. Nearly all the computation is performed by the Entrez and opencpu servers instead of by the client program.

Overview

The nuccore program summarises the lengths of sequences in the nuccore database in Entrez that are linked from genomes studies.
