title: Integration of data for gene annotation using the BioMediator system.
abstract: Gene annotation requires integration of data from multiple sources in order to functionally classify genes. We are using BioMediator, a general purpose data-integration solution, to develop a gene annotation system to automate the process of collecting data from disparate genomic databases. Integration of annotation data from multiple sources into a single format will facilitate use of analytic tools for the proper functional classification of genes.
