InterMine is an open source data warehouse system for the integration and analysis of biological data.
It’s a software system that you can install on your own servers to make data available on the web.
The software is released under an open source license.
Features include:
- Dynamic data tables – easily drill down into data. It’s easy to filter data, add additional columns, navigate to report pages.
- Work with single items (objects) and multiple items (lists):
- Object: A single item in the database (this can be anything, a gene, protein or binding site for example).
- List: Multiple items of the same type. For example, a list of genes or a list proteins.
- Run queries in many languages.
- Four search tools are available:
- Keyword Search : A simple search box for looking up names, symbols identifiers or keywords.
- Template Searches : A pre-defined search which provides a simple form with one or more variables for you to define (defaults are always provided so you can see exactly what the template does).
- The Query Builder : An advanced query building tool – you can use this to construct your own searches. You can even turn them into your own template searches.
- Region Search: A tool for looking at genomic regions and the features they contain. Allows you to upload a set of regions and search for features mapped to these regions.
- Supported formats:
- Chado
- GFF3
- FASTA
- GO & gene association files
- UniProt XML
