DISSEMINATED BREAST CANCER INFORMATION RESOURCE

描述：(申请人摘要)这项建议的总体问题 地址是科学文献的快速扩张，其中 使得生物医学研究科学家无法跟上 在他们感兴趣的领域进行相关研究。我们一直在 致力于解决这个问题的一个这样的解决方案：结构化数据库 为研究提供复杂的生物医学研究数据 以既强大又易于使用的形式构建社区。使用 这样的数据库将提供对#年生物医学研究成果的访问 一种比浏览传统报纸更高效的方式 文学。本提案高度强调了这一点的应用 成功进军乳腺癌领域。现在 建议与我们的一项努力密切相关： 肿瘤基因信息关系型数据库的开发 将这些数据作为可搜索的文本文件报告进行传播 通过地鼠。支持将这一模式扩展到乳腺癌将 在乳腺癌问题上的应用如下。首先，更多 将开发强大的工具来访问这些数据。最初， 基于万维网的关系形式的前端 将生成数据库。这是因为对 肿瘤基因数据库中包含的信息，可用的工具 将被使用，并且它们的效用可以被评估。

DESCRIPTION: (Applicant's Abstract) The overall problem this proposal addresses is the rapid expansion of scientific literature which has made it impossible for biomedical research scientists to keep up with relevant research in their area of interest. We have been working on one such solution to this problem: structured databases of complex biomedical research data made available to the research community in forms which are both powerful and easy to use. Use of such databases will provide access to biomedical research results in a way much more efficient than browsing the conventional paper literature. This proposal addresses the application of this highly successful approach to the field of breast cancer. The present proposal is closely related to one of our efforts: the development of a relational database of Tumor Gene Information and the dissemination of this data as a searchable text file report via gopher. Support for extending this model to breast cancer will be applied to the problem of breast cancer as follows. First, more powerful tools will be developed for accessing this data. Initially, a World Wide Web-based front end to the relational form of the database will be generated. Because of the demonstrated demand for the information contained in the Tumor Gene database, tools made available will be used and their utility can be assessed.
