A package, Integrated Genomic Data System,  has been submitted to the Baylor 
College of Medicine Office of Technology .  A description of the system is 
as follows:

Integrated Genomics Data System (IGDS)

OVERVIEW

The Integrated Genomics Data System (IGDS) integrates data from multiple 
publicly available genomic databases into a relational database format.

The core of the IGDS system is a C/C++ program that data mines National 
Center for Biological Information (NCBI) binary ASN1 files for sequence 
data.  This data is integrated by means of Perl scripts with data from Locus 
Link, UniGene, Gene Ontology Association, Protein Data Bank, and other 
sites.   The resulting information is uploaded by a Java program into a 
relational database defined by the Integrated Genomics Database System 
schema.

FEATURES

The IGDS is a computational tool for data gathering and interpretation of 
genomic data, which saves time and reduces repetition of rote processes.

A methodology using tested relationships among various pieces of data in 
different files reduces the necessity for the accrual and processing of 
massive amounts of data.

Data mining tactic based on the NCBI toolkit, thereby utilizing code that 
has been approved for interpretation of NCBI ANS1.  Native representation of 
pertinent data elements is maintained as are the nesting levels inherent in 
the ASN1 structure.

Data download and interpretation is performed on the most compact 
representation of NCBI data - ASN1 binary files.

Less computer disk space is required to store data files when data mining 
processes are invoked.

Processing of NCBI data in binary format provides optimal computer 
performance with quick results.

Configurable interface affords various levels of processing granularity.  
Processing may be allocated among many processes on one computer or across 
several computers.

Final relational representation of genomic data provides dynamic inference 
not possible with flat file or ASN1 data representation

The system is fully configurable and will download and interpret the entire 
NCBI ASN1 sequence library or a few select sequence sets.

A separate series of Perl scripts cross-references the NCBI Locus 
Link/Unigene libraries providing Accession and GI Number, Gene names, Aliase 
Gene Names, Preferred Gene Names, Clone, Lib, UniGene Id, Tissue, Vector,  
Organ, Cyto_Genetic_Loc, and relevant Gene Ontology information such as GO 
Id, catagories, etc.  This data can be merged with the ASN1 data to create a 
a fully integrated DB system of genomic information.

A Rational Rose UML Data Model is provided as well as relevant SQL tables.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
C/C++, Perl, a compiled version of the NCBI toolkit, and a relational 
database management system.
