These and other pipelines are part of a new systems biology infrastructure called dbNP (dbnp.org). Data is statistically analyzed with respect to the study questions and studied for patterns, gene clusters and profiles. After coupling through genome databases the results can be understood in the context of existing domain specific biolo...
