Informational Science Computational Science is the Third Branch of Science (beyond Experimental and Theoretical) Genes are Computed, Proteins are Computed, Sequence “equivalences” are Computed. Informational Science is coming to be accepted as The Fourth Branch of Science Based on Information Science technologies for Functional Mining of Information Sources Comparative Analysis within the Dry Lab of Biological Knowledge

BeeSpace Analysis Environment SPACES and REGIONS Dynamic and Relative Space is collection of documents Region is collection of terms • Extract creates new Region from old Space • Map creates new Space from old Region • New from Old Spaces and Regions via merges • Summarize classifies Gene within Space • Annotate finds differential functional expression
BeeSpace v3 Sample • Refining and Merging Space Regions • Cross bee species differential gene expression for behaviorial maturation into adult forager Functional Analysis for Similar Situation! • Behavioral Maturation merge • Cross-Species Comparisons merge • Different Taxa (insect,fish,bird,rodent)
BeeSpace Semantic Operations • Merge (S1,S2) into S3 • Summarize (S) into Gene classify Extract S R Map S R
