NCBI numbers for September

It has been a while since I had done the usual text search for "nitrile hydratase" under proteins on NCBI's website. Having done the proper filtering job on this numbers in August, I know there is a lot of duplication, error and bizarre search engine behaviour going on but I do think it shows how quickly the number of vaguely applicable sequences is growing. As of today there are 3066 hits for the target phrase (+63 since July), and 1125 RefSeq hits (+20 in the same period).

Disappointingly there was no change in the number of structures listed on the
Protein Data Bank.
