Allows you to start/kill and build/update 'PT_SERVER' databases.
Select a 'PT_SERVER' and database from the menu displayed after pressing the button below the 'PT_SERVER' prompt.
Start or kill the selected 'PT_SERVER' by pressing the corresponding buttons.
Press the 'BUILD SERVER' button to export the current database to the selected 'PT_SERVER' database.
In Genome Databases you may check the 'Gene server' toggle to build a PT-Server which is based on the sequences of the single genes (and intergene regions) of all organisms.
Such a PT-Server allows to perform similarity searches and probe design/match for single genes (in opposite to whole genomes with a "normal" PT-Server).
When designing probes with such a gene PT-Server you always have to validate these probes against a PT-Server build upon complete genome sequences, otherwise you will get incorrect results for all probes matching at beginning/end of a gene.
