GeneBrowser: an approach for integration and functional classification of genomics data

The achievements coming from genome analysis depend greatly on the quality of computational and processing methods. Tools for functional mRNA profiling and for gene information integration have become essential to this task. We have developed GeneBrowser as a novel approach that combines the advantages of mRNA profiling tools, at genome-scale experiments, with the features provided by data integration systems. For a given set of genes, GeneBrowser integrates bibliography information with functional annotations, using Gene Ontology, Entrez Gene, KEGG Orthology and KEGG Pathways. The result is a comprehensive and easy to use web application that helps researchers to extract knowledge from large data sets and to speed up the discovery process.
