BE40 lar 数据源，已从 1990 年的每小时 1,700 个碱基飙升至如今的每小时 833,000 个碱基。数据集成软件还使研究人员能够访问异构数据存储库。例如，就 IBM DiscoveryLink 而言，“包装器”的使用允许用户访问多个数据库中的信息，而不管底层格式、数据库结构或查询 API（应用程序访问操作系统和其他服务的编程接口）如何。其他数据集成解决方案允许用户通过单一界面连接并查看数据源。例如，Lion Biosciences（德国海德堡）的 SRS 解决方案提供对 400 多个不同生物数据库的访问。最后，在缺乏全面的统包解决方案的情况下，用户经常开发自定义解决方案，允许访问他们使用的特定数据源，从而将用户限制为从菜单中选择的一组选定的查询。
BE40 lar data sources, has skyrocketed from 1,700 bases per hour in 1990 to 833,000 bases per hour today. Data-integration software also enables researchers to access heterogeneous repositories of data. For example, in the case of IBM DiscoveryLink, the use of “wrappers” allows users to access information housed in multiple databases regardless of the underlying formats, database structure, or query API (a programming interface by which an application program accesses operating system and other services). Other data-integration solutions allow users to connect to and view data sources through a single interface. Lion Biosciences’(Heidelberg, Germany)SRS solution, for example, provides access to over 400 different biological databases. Finally, in the absence of comprehensive turnkey solutions, users have often developed custom solutions that allow access to the specific data sources that they use, limiting users to a selected set of queries chosen from a menu.
