Resumen
The article discusses the use of SEED, a tool kit created for studying genomics. Genome annotation is the most important areas in genomics today. It is the process of identifying the functions of particular regions of genetic sequence data. Scientists need to be able to view and manipulate genomic data, automatically append annotations to it, and exchange information with other researchers. The SEED represents an ambitious effort to stimulate and support education, research, and collaboration relating to the analysis of genomic data. Its primary objective is to dramatically improve the ability of biologists to construct and propagate large-scale integrations containing hundreds of genomes, expression data, metabolic data and other forms of biological data needed to support the analysis of organisms. Its most notable benefit will be to enable analysis of newly sequenced genomes in the context of comparative data; such analysis will inevitably lead to far superior initial characterizations. The SEED leverages a network and functional design incorporating the notion of communicating peers. This design is in keeping with current directions in network services architecture while facilitating collaboration and cooperation in the biological community, including the participation of students and researchers at institutions lacking their own large information technology infrastructures.
