In this paper, we present an EST sequence annotation system based on Service Oriented Architecture, called SeqWeB. We developed the web services of eight applications (Phred, cross_match, RepeatMasker, TGICL, ICAtools, CAP3, Phrap and Blast) which are located in sequence annotation process and integrated the web services through BFEL. SeqWeB uses an XML file format for data input and output to maximize interoperability between each application. SeqWeB can be extended or modified easily through some modification such as insertion, deletion and replacement because service-oriented architecture allows loose coupling between applications.
