Integration of Heterogeneous Bioinformatics Data through Web Services

With the advent of comparative genomics, an increasing amount of genomic data from different organisms is to be compared. This paper presents an approach to integrate bioinformatics data from various source databases using web services and a private registry. The goal is to construct an efficient framework that correctly integrates genomic databases via web services and thus allows genomic browsers to connect and clearly presents data based on user criteria. The experimental result shows that for most queries our system with private registry can return correct answers with dramatically less response time than one without.
