Description

Life science research depends crucially on the availability of informatics infrastructure for systematically storing and integrating vast amounts of diverse bioinformatics data. Indeed, a deep understanding of data collected using today's cutting-edge bioinformatics technologies is impossible without this infrastructure, yet conventional databases are limited in the types of data they can handle. For more sophisticated processing and analysis, infrastructure is needed that can simultaneously sort and organize the vast variety of different types of life science data and make this data available for public use.
