Integrative bioinformatics

<p>Integrative bioinformatics is a discipline of <a href="/facts/Bioinformatics/D5x2L8ee">bioinformatics</a> that focuses on problems of <a href="/facts/Data_integration/BU47JR28">data integration</a> for the <a href="/facts/Life_sciences/9HYkCgqe">life sciences</a>.
</p><p>With the rise of <a href="/facts/High-throughput_screening/503vkz1b">high-throughput</a> (HTP) technologies in the life sciences, particularly in <a href="/facts/Molecular_biology/YgqU35ub">molecular biology</a>, the amount of collected <a href="/facts/Data/AUBFN97o">data</a> has grown in an exponential fashion. Furthermore, the data are scattered over a plethora of both public and private <a href="/facts/Information_repository/P5x77e39">repositories</a>, and are stored using a large number of different <a href="/facts/File_format/qrXbwJaH">formats</a>. This situation makes searching these data and performing the analysis necessary for the extraction of new knowledge from the complete set of available data very difficult. Integrative bioinformatics attempts to tackle this problem by providing unified access to life science data.
