Chapter 2: Introduction to biological databases
Abstract
Significant developments in the field of molecular biology, along with advances in genomic technology, have resulted in an explosion of biological information produced by the scientific community during the past few decades. Because of this huge amount of genomic information, it is now essential to have computerized biological databases to store, organize, and properly index the biological data, as well as specialized tools for visualizing and analyzing the data. These biological databases are crucial research tools for organizing future experiments and uncovering new information with the help of data mining of biological information. Bioinformaticians have developed a plethora of ...
