Biomolecular Data Resources: Bioinformatics Infrastructure for Biomedical Data Science

Le résumé fourni par la source

Technological advances have continuously driven the generation of bio-molecular data and the development of bioinformatics infrastructure, which enables data reuse for scientific discovery. Several types of data management resources have arisen, such as data deposition databases, added-value databases or knowledgebases, and biology-driven portals. In this review, we provide a unique overview of the gradual evolution of these resources and discuss the goals and features that must be considered in their development. With the increasing application of genomics in the health care context and with 60 to 500 million whole genomes estimated to be sequenced by 2022, biomedical research infrastructure is transforming, too. Systems for federated access, portable tools, provision of reference data, and interpretation tools will enable researchers to derive maximal benefits from these data. Collaboration, coordination, and sustainability of data resources are key to ensure that biomedical knowledge management can scale with technology shifts and growing data volumes.
