Abstract
Bioinformatics digital data are growing exponentially. They need to be stored, organized, retrieved, visualized, annotated, analyzed, integrated with experimental metadata, integrated with other various datatypes, and archived. These steps require a scientific team that consists of bench scientists, data engineers, bioinformaticians,…
