DOME
A database system for functional genomics and systems biology
DOME is a complex database which contains several data types, multiple versions of intermediate data processing stages, a reference database, and metadata.
Dome is supposed to be installed in a laboratory that may be dealing with several projects. One portion of DOME, the reference database named
B-Net, is common to all projects.
B-Net represents the background knowledge of biochemistry and molecular biology of the biological systems analysed. The other portion of the DOME schema can be instantiated several times, one per project, as illustrated in the figure below.
A high-level overview of the DOME schema
The DOME schema is presented in two parts:
- Details of the B-Net Schema. (containing the reference biochemical information)
- Details of the Project Schema (containing data and metadata)
