Information Processing for Arabidopsis cDNA Sequencing

“拟南芥cDNA测序的信息处理”项目的主要目的是设计和实现基因序列数据的信息学机制，并为密歇根州立大学分子生物学家为拟南芥cDNA测序项目产生的基因序列数据提供自动化环境（用于相似性搜索）。该系统将协助分子生物学家管理原始序列数据，对其进行注释和序列比较的结果。该系统将允许科学家在私人本地数据库中组织和操作他们的序列数据，并自动将选定的序列提交给研究界的公共数据库。本系统将是基于面向对象的数据库管理系统。调查人员将向社区提供他们开发的所有原始和派生数据、软件和文件。该项目还得到了生物科学理事会拟南芥倡议保护区的支持。

The principle aims of this project on "Information Processing for Arabidopsis cDNA sequencing" are to design and implement enabling informatics mechanisms for genetic sequence data and to provide an automated environment (for similarity searching) for the genetic sequence data produced by the molecular biologists for the Arabidopsis cDNA sequencing project at Michigan State University. This system will assist molecular biologists in managing raw sequence data, annotations to it and results from sequence comparisons. This system will allow the scientists to organize and manipulate their sequence data in private local databases and also automatically submit selected sequences to the public databases of the research community. The system will be based on a object-oriented database management system. The investigators will make available to the community all raw and derived data, software and documentation that they develop. This project is also being supported by the Directorate for Biological Sciences Reserve for the Arabidopsis Initiative.
