BIOMAX INFORMATICS AG Releases Version 5.6 of the BioRS(TM) Integration and Retrieval System.MARTINSRIED, Germany -- Biomax Informatics AG Biomax Informatics is a Munich-based software company specializing in research software for bioinformatics. Biomax was founded in 1997 and has its roots in the Munich Information Center for Protein Sequences (MIPS). , a leading provider of computational and knowledge solutions for the life sciences, announces today the release of the new 5.6 version of the BioRS[TM] Integration and Retrieval System for retrieving and using results from biological and biomedical bi·o·med·i·cal adj. 1. Of or relating to biomedicine. 2. Of, relating to, or involving biological, medical, and physical sciences. databases. This new version expands the robust and proven functionality with enhanced performance, including options for taking advantage of relational structure, that allow working groups to keep up with innovations in data management. The user-friendly graphical interface See GUI. provides optimized tools for convenient selection and administration of databases as well as specification of queries. Improvements have been made for query result display and subsequent use of results (e.g., in sequence analysis). Now, queries can be saved as virtual databanks, allowing the freshly executed results to be searched with subsequent queries. The Biomax Database Update Tool is available for specifying and performing automatic database upload and processing to ensure that users work with the most up-to-date information. BioRS search and retrieval, along with the ReqALLer[TM] Bioinformatics Tool Box and the Pedant-Pro[TM] Sequence Analysis Suite, is an integral part of the unique bioinformatics platform for sequence analysis. The BioRS Integration and Retrieval System provides a sophisticated and easy-to-use system for searching and integrating heterogeneous public and proprietary databases in flat-file and relational formats. Researchers can quickly search multiple databases simultaneously using convenient Web interfaces. System administrators use Web and command-line interfaces for easy integration of flat-file and relational databases as well as for resource and user management. The BioRS system ensures security within a distributed environment, allowing safe data sharing The ability to share the same data resource with multiple applications or users. It implies that the data are stored in one or more servers in the network and that there is some software locking mechanism that prevents the same set of data from being changed by two people at the same time. between members of a large working group using databanks integrated at multiple locations. The client-server architecture client-server architecture Architecture of a computer network in which many clients (remote processors) request and receive service from a centralized server (host computer). of the BioRS system provides individual modules for searching, indexing and parsing See parse. parsing - parser for efficient parallel processing in a distributed computing environment See DCE. Distributed Computing Environment - (DCE) An architecture consisting of standard programming interfaces, conventions and server functionalities (e.g. naming, distributed file system, remote procedure call) for distributing applications transparently across networks . In addition, each module can be seamlessly integrated into external applications. |
