Enabling high-throughput data management for systems biology: the Bioinformatics Resource Manager.

UNLABELLED: The Bioinformatics Resource Manager (BRM) is a software environment that provides the user with data management, retrieval and integration capabilities. Designed in collaboration with biologists, BRM simplifies mundane analysis tasks of merging microarray and proteomic data across platforms, facilitates integration of users' data with functional annotation and interaction data from public sources and provides connectivity to visual analytic tools through reformatting of the data for easy import or dynamic launching capability. BRM is developed using Java and other open-source technologies for free distribution. AVAILABILITY: BRM, sample data sets and a user manual can be downloaded from http://www.sysbio.org/dataresources/brm.stm.
