Ondex

Gathering and managing data from diverse and heterogeneous datasets is central to many systems approaches to biology. Systems biologists need to easily identify and gather the information they require and then integrate and analysis the experimental and reference data sets which can come from myriad databases with a wide variety of formats and access methods.

The Ondex data integration platform enables data from diverse biological data sets to be linked, integrated and visualised through graph analysis techniques. Ondex uses a rich and flexible core data structure, which has the ability to bring together information from structured databases and unstructured sources such as biological sequence data and free text. Ondex also allows users to visualise and analyse the integrated data. Ondex is free and open-source software.
