SBIR Phase I: Automating Linkage and Association Based Gene Mapping Analyses through Knowledge Acquisition

这个小型企业创新研究(SBIR)第一阶段项目建议研究一种名为“发现机器”的自动推理引擎在基因图谱领域的应用。发现机器是一套帮助专家解决海量数据问题的知识获取工具。对发现机器的拟议增强将允许遗传学专家建立他们自己的策略，以解释绘制基因图谱所需的信息。生物信息学工具的开发是针对那些希望更好地利用计算能力来解决大数据集上的问题，但又不能轻易编写软件来实现其工作的研究人员。该项目的商业应用是在生物信息学领域。

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I Project proposes to investigate the application of an automatic inference engine called "Discovery Machine" to the domain of gene mapping. Discovery Machine is a set of knowledge acquisition tools that aid experts in solving problems over large amounts data. The proposed enhancements to the Discovery Machine will allow genetics experts to model their own strategies for interpreting the information needed to map genes. The development of bioinformatics tools is aimed at researchers who wish to better leverage computing power to solve problems across large sets of data but cannot easily write software to enable their efforts.The commercial application of this project is in the area of bioinformatics.
