Periscope/SQ: Interactive Exploration of Biological Sequence Databases

Summary: Periscope/SQ provides a declarative interface for large biological sequence databases, enabling rapid expression of complex queries. It leverages database-style optimization to deliver orders-of-magnitude speedups over procedural approaches, demonstrated by GeneLocator for interactive exploration.
