Integration of the custom database with the GeneTraffic (Microarray) database
Digital data from biological instruments will be automated and transformed into a central database system using the BioExper system, and QTL MATCHMAKER database, a tool that enables high throughput mappings of genes and large scale comparative genomic analysis between Homo sapiens, Mus musculus, and Rattus norvegicus. Applications carried out to date include the development of Animal Inventory and Reagent Management modules.

Development of a Computer Managed Comprehensive Platform (BioExper)
Cutting-edge technology will be employed to develop a web-based platform, including JAVA programming language, XML, Oracle database etc. The system will store research data in a central database system, and captures experimental data at single experimental steps. The system will enable easier and more efficient communication of data between medical researchers and provide a data analysis tool.
