Developing Bioinformatics Infrastructures

Bioinformatics software, information-rich life sciences databases, and high throughput laboratory technologies provide life and biosciences professionals with access to data and analytical tools that drive discovery at a rate previously unprecedented in science.

This book shows bioinformatics professionals how to maximize the power of these systems for interoperability and integration.

It provides the methodologies and tools required to develop infrastructures that support collaborative research in both academic and commercial research laboratories.

The reader is walked through the development of a web services-based infrastructure that will provide secure information management and discovery systems to facilitate information exchange and analysis.
