Abstract: | Background Technological advances in high-throughput techniques and efficient data acquisition methods have resulted in a massive amount
of life science data. The data is stored in numerous databases that have been established over the last decades and are essential
resources for scientists nowadays. However, the diversity of the databases and the underlying data models make it difficult
to combine this information for solving complex problems in systems biology. Currently, researchers typically have to browse
several, often highly focused, databases to obtain the required information. Hence, there is a pressing need for more efficient
systems for integrating, analyzing, and interpreting these data. The standardization and virtual consolidation of the databases
is a major challenge resulting in a unified access to a variety of data sources. |
