get.db.growth {seqinr} | R Documentation

## 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 = "http://www.ebi.ac.uk/embl/Documentation/Release_notes/current/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.
