Abstract
- BOD is an FTP service management tool on the Internet. It was developed for biological researchers in South Korea. It enables easier and faster access of bioinformation without having to go through foreign FTP sites. BOD includes an automatic downloader with a management and email alert service from which the user can easily select and schedule any biological database. Once listed in BOD, the user can check and modify the download status and data from an additional email alert service.
