OVERVIEW
-----------------------------------------
M5NR API

The M5NR is an integration of many sequence databases into one single, searchable database. 
A single similarity search (using BLAST or BLAT) will allow the user to retrieve similarities to several databases (e.g. NCBI’s nr, KEGGs database or the EGGnogs , ...).
The M5NR API facilitates mappings between M5NR IDs (sequence md5 checksums) and annotations from databases integrated onto the M5NR.
