CATEGORIZATION AND FILTERING OF SCIENTIFIC DATA

摘要

The present invention relates to methods, systems and apparatus for capturing, integrating, organizing, navigating and querying large-scale data from high-throughput biological and chemical assay platforms. It provides a highly efficient meta-analysis infrastructure for performing research queries across a large number of studies and experiments from different biological and chemical assays, data types and organisms, as well as systems to build and add to such an infrastructure. According to various embodiments, methods, systems and interfaces for associating experimental data, features and groups of data related by structure and/or function with chemical, medical and/or biological terms in an ontology or taxonomy are provided. According to various embodiments, methods, systems and interfaces for filtering data by data source information are provided, allowing dynamic navigation through large amounts of data to find the most relevant results for a particular query.
