+Function
+
+   Calculate strand bias of bacterial genome using B2 index
+
+Description
+
+   gb2 calculates strand bias of bacterial genome using B2 index,
+   proposed by Lobry and Sueoka(2002). Basic idea of B2 index is to calculate
+   the distance from neutral parity state (0.5, 0.5), when the bias of
+   the coding regions is plotted in a coordinate system with axes representing
+   G/(G+C) and A/(A+T), using the third codon position of genes. This index
+   measures the degree of transcription- and translation-associated effects of
+   bias from Chargaff's second parity rule.
+    
+   G-language SOAP service is provided by the
+   Institute for Advanced Biosciences, Keio University.
+   The original web service is located at the following URL:
+
+   http://www.g-language.org/wiki/soap
+
+   WSDL(RPC/Encoded) file is located at:
+
+   http://soap.g-language.org/g-language.wsdl

+   Documentation on G-language Genome Analysis Environment methods are
