Integrative Bioinformatics: A Branch of Bioinformatics that Focuses on Problems of Data Integration

Myron R Szewczuk*

Integrative bioinformatics is a branch of bioinformatics concerned with data integration issues in the biological sciences. The amount of data collected has increased exponentially as a result of the emergence of high-throughput (HTP) technology in the life sciences, particularly in molecular biology. Furthermore, the data is dispersed throughout a variety of public and private repositories, and it is kept in a variety of forms. This circumstance makes it tough to search for these data and execute the necessary analysis to extract new knowledge from the entire set of available data. By giving unified access to life science data, integrative bioinformatics seeks to address this issue.
