Abstract
PROPHET is a national computing resource tailored to meet the data management and analysis needs of life scientists working in a wide variety of disciplines, ranging from pharmacology to molecular biology. The PROPHET system offers a fully integrated graphics-oriented environment designed to aid research scientists in the manipulation and analysis of scientific spreadsheets of data, graphs, molecular structures, biological simulation models, and protein and nucleic acid sequences, and it includes access to a range of molecular structure and sequence databases. This paper briefly describes the PROPHET system, some of its current capabilities, and plans for a new fully distributed version of the system now under development.
