E-Services for Comparative Studies in Molecular Biology

后基因组生物学的核心挑战是利用序列和微阵列数据的范围来更好地理解生物过程。由于无法获得专业的比较工具和管理大规模不同数据的问题，大型比较研究受到了阻碍。该项目将提供门户和web服务设施来消除这些障碍，依靠健壮的、可扩展的业务技术来免费提供。我们的工作将由细菌基因组学和癌症研究的特定应用驱动，并将支持前列腺癌和病原体衣原体和炭疽杆菌的研究。

The central challenge of post-genomic biology is to exploit the range of sequence and microarray data to yield greater understanding of biological processes. Large comparative studies are hamstrung by the inaccessibility of specialist comparative tools and the problem of managing large-scale disparate data. This project will provide portal and web services facilities to remove these obstacles, relying on robust and scalable business technologies to be made freely available. Our work will be driven by specific applications in bacterial genomics and cancer research, and will support research into prostate cancer and the pathogens Chlamydia and Bacillus anthracis.
