BIOINFORMATICS: BUILDING KNOWLEDGE FROM DATA
The network is the computer
The problem: standalone PCs
The solution: server-based network computing
Research in a networked environment
BIRCH - a networked bioinformatics resource
Example: Simulated cloning
Example: Phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequences
Example: Phylogenetic analysis of molecular markers
An object-oriented database encodes the combined knowledge of researchers into a "knowledge base".
Example: model of a gene family
