BrainProfileDB - a platform for integration of functional genomics data

Proteomics. 2008 Mar;8(6):1162-4. doi: 10.1002/pmic.200700743.

Abstract

BrainProfileDB is a database system for integrating large sets of high throughput functional genomics data of the Human Brain Proteome Project (HBPP). Within HBPP (http://www.smp-proteomics.de/) the molecular pathology of neurodegenerative diseases is investigated, using complementary methods from transcriptomics, proteomics, toponomics and interaction measurements. Aim of the database system is to provide a broad spectrum of scientific users joined in the consortium with a practical integrated view on their data. Employing appropriate mapping techniques and levels of data representation the user is relieved from technical details of gene identification or experimental measurement technique.
