Discuss the advantages and disadvantagesof major biological databases
Answers
Answer:
Research in Biological sciences is the richest source of data in the field of Life Sciences; which is essential to find answers to many questions in medicinal, agricultural and biological oriented basic sciences. Hence the need for storing large data – sets are crucial to explore the research time to time. Obvious examples are Sequence Database of protein, Nucleic acids(DNA & RNA), Enzymes, 3D Structural database of X-ray (PDB) and NMR (Membrane) proteins , Metabolic pathway , Molecular interaction database etc., a new field of science has emerged to organize all new challenges and possibilities created by these database called bioinformatics and System/ Computation biology. Data base is a collection of required data in well organized manner which will help end users in navigating their research in biological sciences efficiently.
Need of databases
As much as possible, the particular information is made available to all scientific community with reliability in a single place. Because making the availability of all information from all Possible resources like published books, literature review, made less time consuming work. Making them in computer readymade readable forms in database approach is more efficient and user friendly approach. Database development approach is a new technology which is much implemented on the classical biology like Botany, Zoology in order to turn the conventional biological subjects in to advanced level. Regular updating of database in all objectives will provide knowledge to the specific subject concern.
