Data Assimilation, Visualization, and Mining


EMSL Project ID

Abstract

Systems biology research involves the generation of large volumes of data using a number of different technologies such as proteomics, transcriptomics, matabolomics, and high resolution imaging. Integration of these datasets presents a number of challenges requiring the integration of existing technologies and the development of new capabilities. In addition to managing the raw data, analysis methods must be documented and all meta-data from these analyses must be recorded. For example, the analysis parameters and analysis tools used must be recorded to allow these analyses to be repeated by other laboratories and these results combined into a final dataset. Additionally, the procedures used for organism growth and sample preparation must be documented using a defined vocabulary common to all institutions involved in this research. This research will develop a data management system to facilitate the collection and organization of all experimental data and meta-data. This system will enable bioinformatics analysis by providing a simple interface to these results
