Integration of diverse genomic and meta-genomic data in BiologicalNetworks for the host-pathogen interaction studies. (A) Four main data types (i.e. Graphs, Sequences, Trees and 'Histograms') representing diverse range of biological data are integrated in the BiologicalNetworks. (B) Internal data representation of main four data-types. Interaction/Relation networks are stored as general graphs, Genomic/Protein/3D-structure sequences- as interval (RI-) trees and Suffix trees, Ontologies/Phylogenies as DAGs (Directed Acyclic Graph), Histograms as Oracle structures for multidimensional data. (C) Data storage schema, internal data tables and binary files for storing and integrating diverse data types. (D) BiologicalNetworks Ontology reflects the current knowledge of the domain, taking information from many ontologies provided by OBO consortium at http://www.bioontology.org.
