Biomedical science has been revolutionized by the development of robotic genetic sequencing systems and other analytic instruments that enable the creation of new biological data at an unprecedented rate. One of the fundamental challenges in bioinformatics is creating tools and techniques that permit the transformation of genetic sequence data into understanding of biological processes. There is a natural fit between the problems of managing biomedical data and grid computing. Biomedical data sets are produced locally and used globally. Unique data sets are created in many individual laboratories and a worldwide community of researchers wants to use these data sets as quickly after they are created as possible. Bioinformatics and computational biology will enable breakthroughs in basic biological research and improvements in the prevention, treatment, and cure of diseases. The article thus describes current and important activities led by computer and biomedical scientists. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2004 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
