Abstract

Integrating genomic data across species boundaries is critical to the successful exploitation of previous investment in this area. Systematic attempts to do this have thus far carried a single species focus e.g. annotating the genome of one species using functional data from a second. Because of the multiple potential views that could be applied for the combined dataset, a generalised warehousing approach will not succeed. We will develop a new GRID-based system to capture the details of relationships between genomic data either within or across species in a way that will enable complex ad-hoc queries to be run and demonstrate that the underlying raw data can be combined to draw maximum benefit from those data for all genomic communities. (Joint with BBS/B/17158, BBS/B/1714X, BBS/B/17123 and BBS/B/17131).
