Abstract

The advances in information technology boosted life sciences research towards systems biology which aims at studying complex interactions in biological systems in an integrative way. Steadily improving high-throughput instruments (genome sequencers, mass spectrometers etc.) and analysis software produce large amounts of experimental data. In this paper, we report on experiences with developing and running a life sciences data management system in a productive environment.
