SUMMARY:FlyMine\, InterMine and databases for biology. - Richard Smith\, F

DESCRIPTION:FlyMine (www.flymine.org) is an integrated database of genomic
 s and proteomics data for Drosophila and other insects.  It includes a wid
 e range of data\, made available via a flexible web interface.  Users can 
 run pre-defined 'template' queries\, design their own queries and operate 
 on lists of data.\n\nInterMine (www.intermine.org) is software developed t
 o enable FlyMine and is now being used in other projects to create similar
  databases.\n\nRelational databases provide enormous power for programmers
  to store and query large volumes of data.  Web access to databases for us
 e by biologists is often limited to performing lookups for identifiers or 
 keywords and displaying reports.  This talk will introduce the power of da
 tabases for data manipulation and show how FlyMine/InterMine attempts to e
 nable non-programmers to benefit from this power.\n
