B-Fabric: An Open Source Life Sciences Data Management System

  • Conference paper
Scientific and Statistical Database Management (SSDBM 2009)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 5566))

Abstract

The advances in information technology boosted life sciences research towards systems biology which aims at studying complex interactions in biological systems in an integrative way. Steadily improving high-throughput instruments (genome sequencers, mass spectrometers etc.) and analysis software produce large amounts of experimental data. In this paper, we report on experiences with developing and running a life sciences data management system in a productive environment.
