Abstract
BioWarehouse is an open-source project for integrating bioinformatics databases within a relational database warehouse. It has two key features. A comprehensive database schema models many different bioinformatics datatypes. A set of loader tools permits loading of public bioinformatics databases, and of standard bioinformatics formats, into that database schema. Thus, multiple databases can be queried together within a single common schema. The supported databases are BioCyc, CMR, ENZYME, Eco2DBase, Genbank, Gene Ontology, KEGG, NCBI Taxonomy, and UniProt. The supported formats are BioPAX (protein interactions subset only) and MAGE-ML.
