How is QuickSNP 1.1 different from the older version (QuickSNP 1.0)?
QuickSNP 1.0 utilized flat file databases as a data source. These have now been converted into a relational MySQL database in QuickSNP 1.1. As a result, the program has become 3 to 10 times faster (depending on the search criteria specified) and one can now search a 2 Mb region (or 20 genes) within less than a minute under default conditions. The date of formal release of this newer version of QuickSNP is August 1, 2007.
