	Can anybody who has used both the EMBL and GenBank nucleotide
databases tell me how much (if anything) is in one that isn't in the other?
We currently have a subscription to GB and are considering subscribing to
EMBL.  If there isn't really anything in EMBL that isn't already in GB, then
it isn't worth the cost and effort (and, more importantly, disk space) to
maintiain both.  The same question applies to SWISS-PROT and Dayhoff (PIR).
