INTRODUCATION
WHAT IS BIOINFORMATICS??
 
AIM OF BIOINFORMATICS
 
USEFUL DATABASE ON BIOINFORMATICS
BIOLOGICAL DATABASES
BIOLOGICAL DATABASES: WHY?  Need for storing and communicating large datasets has grown   Make biological data available to scientists.   To make biological data available in computer-readable form.   02/26/11   14:28
DIFFERENT CLASSIFICATIONS OF DATABASES  Type of data  nucleotide sequences  protein sequences  proteins sequence patterns or motifs  macromolecular 3D structure  gene expression data  metabolic pathways  02/26/11   14:28
DIFFERENT CLASSIFICATIONS OF DATABASES…. Primary or derived databases  Primary databases: experimental results directly into database  Secondary databases: results of analysis of primary databases  Aggregate of many databases  Links to other data items  Combination of data  Consolidation of data  02/26/11   14:28
DIFFERENT CLASSIFICATIONS OF DATABASES…. Technical design  Flat-files  Relational database (SQL)  Exchange/publication technologies (FTP, HTML, CORBA, XML,...)  02/26/11   14:28
DIFFERENT CLASSIFICATIONS OF DATABASES…. Availability  Publicly available, no restrictions  Available, but with copyright  Accessible, but not downloadable  Academic, but not freely available  Proprietary, commercial; possibly free for academics  02/26/11   14:28
