Abstract/Summary:
Data from decades of life sciences research and literature is being curated and made available for searching and analysis. While considerable work has been done to integrate and re-use this data, what is still lacking is a unifying platform that allows new experimental data to leverage all previously published data effectively.;Crick is an intelligent and scalable platform for data integration, visualization, and searching for meaningful biological hypothesis. It was built to create an effective way to integrate and analyze experimental data in the context of the vast literature of other biologically relevant information. Crick was designed ground-up to solve some of the most challenging problems in biological data such as entity resolution, size, scale, reliability of the data, visualization of high-dimensional information, etc. Crick has been successfully used to identify molecular mechanism regulating circadian metabolism; to understand the complex coupling of circadian oscillating species; to study pediatric cancers; to analyze the dynamic long-range interactions in the genome; and more.
