A series of PDB related databases for everyday needs (2010, methodology): “Considering the substantial size of the aforementioned databases PDB, DSSP, HSSP and PDBREPORT (summing up to 160 GB in the summer of 2010), there is a strong need for a compact summary that can be parsed, searched [e.g. by SRS (37), EBeye (38) or MRS (39)], and analyzed quickly.”
myGrid: personalised bioinformatics on the information grid (2003, methodology): “…Web Services are available from the my Grid web site for NCBI BLAST (Altschul et al., 1997), WU BLAST (W. Gish, personal communication; http://blast.wustl.edu/), the complete EMBOSS application suite of over eighty analysis tools (Rice et al., 2000), MEDLINE and SRS (Etzold et al., 1996).”
ExPASy: the proteomics server for in-depth protein knowledge and analysis (2003, methodology): “PROSITE, ENZYME and SWISS-2DPAGE can also be queried using SRS.”
UniProt archive (2004, methodology): “SRS also provides an easy access to a large number of sequence analysis tools, including EMBOSS applications (Rice et al., 2000). identifiers extracted from the source databases can be used for retrieval.”
The IMGT/HLA database (2008, methodology): “This information is also available through integration with EBI’s SRS search engine (25).”

What is Bioinformatics? A Proposed Definition and Overview of the Field (2001, unknown): “One is the Sequence Retrieval System, SRS [41], which allows flat-file databases to be indexed to each other; this allows the user to retrieve, link and access entries from nucleic acid, protein sequence, protein motif, protein structure and bibliographic databases.”
