Integration of data in biosciences
نویسندگان
چکیده
Experimental data in life sciences, created with today's sequencing techniques, accumulate rapidly in different formats and data sources, leaving facts and knowledge on observed phenomena hidden and unreachable to researchers. The "big data" problem can be seen from various aspects. In this paper, we pointed out to those that can be solved with some sort of data integration. Combining data from different sources and analyzing them jointly can give a complex insight of observed biological phenomena. The problem of designing data integration systems is important in current real world applications. This document presents several levels of data integration, with some examples of good practice.

متن کاملProper integration time of polarization signals of internetwork regions using Sunrise/IMaX data
Distribution of magnetic fields in the quiet-Sun internetwork areas has been affected by weak polarization (in particular Stokes Q and U) signals. To improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the weak polarization signals, several approaches, including temporal integrations, have been proposed in the literature. In this study, we aim to investigate a proper temporal-integration time with which...

متن کاملIntegration and Reduction of Microarray Gene Expressions Using an Information Theory Approach
The DNA microarray is an important technique that allows researchers to analyze many gene expression data in parallel. Although the data can be more significant if they come out of separate experiments, one of the most challenging phases in the microarray context is the integration of separate expression level datasets that have gathered through different techniques. In this paper, we prese...
