Abstract (English)

Integr8 will combine the different strengths of European groups working on various aspects of classification and characterisation of genes and proteins to improve the interoperability of biological databases by building an integrated layer for the exploitation of genomic and proteomic data. This project will enable text-, structure- and sequence-based searches against a gene-centric view of all completed genomes. Zooming in on the sequence data linked to the gene will allow the user to see genomic, transcriptional, and protein sequences linked together. Each level will give direct access to a wealth of information about a given gene, transcript or protein. The envisaged achievements will allow users to do complex queries across databases in a much simpler way enabling them to infer knowledge about all major aspects of the structure and function of genes and proteins and to relate these to the existing corpus of scientific knowledge.
