Bio-Mirror Public Service for High-Speed Access to Biosequence Data; a Project of APBioNet

This is a worldwide bioinformatic public service for high-speed access to up-to-date DNA and protein biological sequence databanks. The Internet, as the primary means for distributing the tens of Gigabytes of this public data, has been suffering delays due to the rapidly increasing demand for bandwidth.

The Bio-Mirror project is devoted to facilitate timely access to important large datasets for this research. High-speed access is provided by Internet2 infrastructure of the Very High Speed Backbone Service (vBNS), Abilene, TransPAC, and the Asia-Pacific Advanced Network (APAN).
