Abstract:
The present invention relates to systems and methods for biomedical drug research, addressing major molecular, cell biological and biochemical information management issues within drug discovery and basic biomedical science. The invention allows scientists to enter biological, chemical, and/or molecular data into a central database, analyze the data entries according to entry attributes, and graphically view the results. A group of web-enabled researchers can enter, share and analyze molecular and cellular data and information from the resources using standardized vocabularies and ontologies. This application describes in detail components of the databasing system, including but not limited to annotation modules, reference managers, advanced search algorithms, ontology browsers, molecular network builders, and text processing scripts. Ultimately, the information gathered, viewed, and analyzed by this relational databasing system is relevant to research ranging from basic researchers to advanced research in applied technologies within pharmaceutical development and biotech fields.
