Cleaning, Integrating, and Warehousing Genomic Data from Biomedical Resources

Four biotechnological advances have been accomplished of the last decade: i) sequencing of whole genomes giving chance to the discovery of thousands of genes, ii) functional genomics using high-throughput DNA microarrays to measure expression of each of these genes in multiple physiological and environmental conditions, iii) scaling of proteins using Proteome to map all the proteins produced by...
