Abstract

InterMine is a data integration and analysis software system that has been used to create both inter-connected and stand-alone biological databases for the analysis of large and complex biological data sets. Together, the InterMine databases provide access to extensive data across multiple organisms. To provide more convenient access to these data from Android mobile devices, we have developed the InterMine app, an application that can be run on any Android mobile phone or tablet. The InterMine app provides a single interface for data access, search and exploration of the InterMine databases. It can be used to retrieve information on genes and gene lists, and their relatives across species. Simple searches can be used to access a range of data about a specific gene, while links to the InterMine databases provide access to more detailed report pages and gene list analysis tools. The InterMine app thus facilitates rapid exploration of genes across multiple organisms and kinds of data.

Highlights

  • InterMine is a data integration and analysis software system that has been used to create a suite of both inter-connected and stand-alone biological databases for the analysis of large and complex biological data sets

  • InterMine databases have been developed for the major model organisms budding yeast[1], nematode worm, fruit fly[2], zebrafish, mouse[3] and rat[4], (which we will refer to as the Model Organism Database (MOD-) InterMines, together with a human database and databases for plants, bees and wasps[5], cows[6], Medicago truncatula[7], mitochondrial proteomics[8] and drug targets[9] (Table 1; https://registry.intermine.org/)

  • To provide more convenient access to these data from Android mobile devices, we have developed the InterMine app[10], an application that can be run on any Android mobile phone or tablet

Summary

Introduction

InterMine is a data integration and analysis software system that has been used to create a suite of both inter-connected and stand-alone biological databases for the analysis of large and complex biological data sets. The InterMine databases provide access to extensive data across multiple organisms (for full listings of data included see the website for each individual InterMine, Table 1). To provide more convenient access to these data from Android mobile devices, we have developed the InterMine app[10], an application that can be run on any Android mobile phone or tablet. The InterMine app provides a single interface for data access, search and exploration of the above databases. Simple searches can be used to access a range of data about a specific gene, while links to the InterMine databases provide access to more detailed report pages and gene list analysis tools. The app is available from the Google Play Store at https://play. The app is available from the Google Play Store at https://play. google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.intermine.app
