Disrupted discovery? Data must answer rather than generate questions

Today’s scientists and research organizations are drowning in biological data. Compounding the problem, these data are fragmented, isolated and much of the information is trapped in the published literature. Text mining has failed to produce reliable results, and inconsistent molecular identifiers and non-standardized terms make search and retrieval time consuming.

BINDplus contains historic as well as the latest published low-throughput (LTP) and high-throughput (HTP) interactions documented according to rigorous data curation standards.

The growing data in BINDplus contain more than 60,000 unique Gene Indentifies, over 1,500 unique organisms, and 7,555 Gene Ontology terms derived from peer-reviewed scientific data extracted from over 23,800 journal articles and over 9000 corresponding authors.

To give users the most current information,BINDplus releases data in a ‘real-time’ system, with database updates available through BONDplus (Biomolecular Object Network Databank Plus) immediately upon public release. The BINDplus flat-file is published via FTP every week.
