Automated data integration for developmental biological research

Automated data integration for developmental biological research.

In an era exploding with genome-scale data, a major challenge for developmental biologists is how to extract significant clues from these publicly available data to benefit our studies of individual genes, and how to use them to improve our understanding of development at a systems level. Several studies have successfully demonstrated new approaches to classic developmental questions by computa...

Technologies for Biological Data Integration

The process of building a new database relevant to some field of study in biomedicine involves transforming, integrating, and cleansing multiple data sources, as well as adding new material and annotations. We review in this chapter some of the requirements and technologies relevant to this data integration problem. Section 1. We begin with a detailed account of the motivations and requirements...

Biological Data Extraction and Integration — A Research Area Background Study

My research field is highly diverse. It interweaves many different areas in information technology and bioinformatics. The system I propose to implement can automatically locate, understand, and extract online biological data independent of the source and also make it available for Semantic web agents. This research field requires background knowledge from (1) Information Extraction, (2) Schema...

Integration of Biological Data

developing data elements for research information system in health; a starting point for systems integration.

this study defines necessary data elements required for the research information system in the domain of health, and its level of accountability to national health research indicators from the experts' perspective is being explored.this qualitative study was conducted based on comparative approach using the focus group method. data were collected through 6 semi-structured group discussions held...
