get.db.growth: Get the exponential growth of nucleic acid database content
Description
Connects to the embl database to read the last release note about
the number of nucleotides in the DDBJ/EMBL/Genbank database content.
A log-linear fit is represented by dia.bd.gowth() with an estimate of
the doubling time in months.
Usage
get.db.growth(
where = "ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/embl/doc/relnotes.txt")
dia.db.growth( get.db.growth.out = get.db.growth(), Moore = TRUE, ... )
Arguments
where
the file containig the database growth table.
get.db.growth.out
the output from get.db.growth()
Moore
logical, if TRUE add lines corresponding to an
exponential growth rate with a doubling time of 18 months, that
is Moore's law.
...
further arguments to plot
Value
A dataframe with the statistics from the embl site.
