Challenges of structural genomics: bioinformatics

Abstract

Structural genomics projects bring us many challenges, many of which were not anticipated when such initiatives were first planned and introduced. For instance, the huge amount of data generated within the project must be collected, displayed and analyzed to reap the benefits of this huge investment. Projects at the San Diego based Joint Center for Structural Genomics provide an example of how data can be managed within a structural genomics project, and how results can be presented on the web, as well as highlight some of the issues concerning data analysis.
