Abstract

Biological data management includes the traditional areas of data generation, acquisition, modelling, integration, and analysis. Although numerous academic biological data management systems are currently available, employing them effectively remains a significant challenge. We discuss how this challenge was addressed in the course of developing the Integrated Microbial Genomes (IMG) system for comparative analysis of microbial genome data.
