Abstract
- We aim to develop an open software system to handle human genome data. The system, called Integrated Genomic Database (IGD), will integrate information from many genomic databases and experimental resources into a comprehensive target-end database (IGD TED). Users will access front-end client systems (IGD FRED) to download data of interest to their computers and merge them with their own local data. FREDs will provide persistent storage of, and instant access to, retrieved data; a friendly graphical interface; tools for querying, browsing, analyzing, and editing local data; interface to external analysis; and tools for communicating with the outside world. The TED will be accessible over the network (online and offline) as a read-only resource for multiple clients. It collects data from major databases for nucleotide and protein sequences and structures, genome maps, experimental reagents, phenotypes, and bibliographic data, and sets of raw data produced at genome centers and laboratories. Beside character-based access via Gopher, WAIS, FTP, and several query language interfaces to the TED, we will develop a specialized front-end client, IGD FRED, with its own database manager, based on the ACEDB program. The FRED will support graphical display methods for sequence feature maps, chromosomal genetic and physical maps, and experimental objects like clone grids, etc. FRED will also provide an interface to important analysis software packages and tools for submitting data to external databases in their own format.
