LinkDB: A Database of Cross Links between Molecular Biology Databases

Access to Molecular Biology Databases

The LiMB database was created to catalogue and begin coonhnanng access to the rapidly pmllfemthrg databases relevant to molecular biology. LiMB contains information about these databases and ls cummtly implemented in a relational database management system tbat allow% for complex, multiconditional queries. We present an overview of LiMB, a description of its cummt hnplementation, and a discussi...

DoD2007: 1082 molecular biology databases

UNLABELLED Molecular biology databases are an integral part of biological research. To date, many databases were established with varied options to access associated biological data. Depending on the data being annotated, some are architecturally similar while others are specialized. In order to provide a partial solution to data integration, we report Database of Databases (DoD2007), construct...

A metadata approach to query interoperation between molecular biology databases

MOTIVATION Molecular biology databases have been proliferating rapidly. Their heterogeneity and complexity pose a great challenge to efforts in database interoperation. To minimize the efforts of interoperating heterogeneous databases, it is useful to develop a system that lets a user of a particular genomic database access another related database as if the latter is structurally similar to th...

Names in Cell and Molecular Biology Databases

Groups of organisms require labels or names to refer to them, however the idea of a single static name index, although tempting for its simplicity, is both impractical and unadvisable as a basis for referring to organisms for which data has been collected and stored for analyses and sharing. The relevant issues are described and some of the challenges facing database researchers are discussed.
