Bioinformatics Data Information Processing and System Biology (Source) …the field of science in which biology, computer science, and information technology merge to form a single discipline.
Human Genome Project • identify all the approximately 20,000-25,000 genes in human DNA, • determine the sequences of the 3 billion chemical base pairs that make up human DNA • store this information in databases, • improve tools for data analysis, • transfer related technologies to the private sector, and • address the ethical, legal, and social issues (ELSI) that may arise from the project.
Databases http://www.taverna.org.uk/introduction/taverna-in-use/bioinformatics/
Conceptual Data Modeling (CDM) • Make explicit the structural properties of data, and as such are useful for capturing, refining, and communicating details about the data in a laboratory or database. Attributes/properties Entity 2 Entity 1 *A type of notation that describes entity types and relationships.
The design process Requirements Analysis * There is no universally accepted standard for either the design process or notation. Database Requirements Conceptual Design Conceptual Model Logical Design Implementation Model
1. Entity-Relationship Modeling is a type of CDM Entity Types Relationships Represents an association between two or more entity types. • An entity type provides a description of the properties of entities in a domain Hemoglobin Myoglobin
ER models and fingerprints • ER models can be mapped onto relational tables. • String of attributes/properties that define and identify the relationship and are unique to the entity.
2. Unified Modeling Language (UML); another CDM • The standard object modeling language. • Notation is the class diagram which describes the attributes, operations, and relationships of a set of objects.
UML versus ER ER UML UML is object-oriented Do not support keys Not all relationships are given names or roles Independent of platform • ER was developed earlier for relational databases • ER uses keys: when one or more attributes of an entity are used to uniquely identify it • Uses relational tables • Not truly platform independent
Question 1. • True/False: Conceptual Data Models (CDMs) are only applicable to bioinformatics research. Correct Answer: FALSE
Question 2. • Which of the following is not an activity in the design process for conceptual modeling? • Requirements Analysis • Conceptual Design • Conceptual Model • A. B. and C. are all examples of the design process. • All of the above and activities can vary as there is no universally accepted process or design.
Question 3. • Which of the following is FALSE in regards to Conceptual Data Models (CDMs)? • CDMs allow precise statements to made about the data. • CDMs are easier to read than to construct. • CDMs easily describe all data without including invalid data. • Entity Relationship and Unified Modeling Languages are types of CDMs
