Querying and Managing bioinformatic data for molecular biology

The perception of the role and functionality of an integration system has evolved considerably in the bioinformatics community since the early 2000s . For a long time, integration systems were seen as a first step in providing an integrated, homogeneous and cleansed database, which would then be used by researchers to analyze the integrated data and move towards new discoveries in biology. This vision reduces data integration...
