Abstract :
In this Era of Information, a method must be found to handle how the drastically increasing amount biological data is stored and accessed. Currently, this data is spread across numerous sources, making analysis of said data more difficult. The BioDB tool will serve as a solution. By creating programmable objects from the current biological data tables and using them in conjunction with a local database that is populated on an as-needed basis, BioDB combines the various data sources into a single fast and effective platform.
