Understanding Complex Diseases : A Bioinformatical approach

Researchers have been using in silio approaches to identify some regions of interest in proteins to elucidate how complex diseases could deal with?

What and How do you think it would help us?

Federated databases on rise: The next big thing in Bioinformatics!

Would you like to see your query processed at one go for Bioinformatics databases of your interest?

If yes federated databases is the one right point to start with.

Very interesting one

Any thoughts please?
