-		  <strong>DIGS</strong> is an approach for performing comparative genomic research <i>in silico</i>.
-		  It entails using sequence similarity search tools
-		  (e.g. <a target="_blank" href="http://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi"><b>BLAST</b></a>)
-		  to recover sets of related nucleotide sequences from molecular sequence databases,	  
-		  then using a relational database (in combination with other analysis tools)
-		  to further investigate these data.

-			(<a target="_blank" href="https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.0700471104">RELIK</a>).

-			<a target="_blank" href="https://www.w3schools.com/sql/"><strong>structured query language (SQL)</strong></a>
-			- a standard language for storing, manipulating and retrieving data in databases.

+<strong>Database-integrated genome-screening (DIGS)</strong> is a form of systematic genome screening
+in which a sequence similarity search-based screening pipeine is linked to a <strong>relational database management
+system (RDBMS)</strong>. This provides a robust foundation for implementing large-scale, automated screens, 
+and allows screening output to be investigated via database-querying.
