We have two objectives. First, we want to build a system for detecting tetratricopeptide repeats in protein sequences. Second, we want to demonstrate how the general bioinformatics database integration system called Kleisli can help build such a system easily. We achieve these two objectives by showing that short and clear programs can be written in Kleisli, using its high-level query language CPL, to build a TPR domain hunter by integrating WU-BLAST2.0, HMMER, Entrez, and PFAM.
