An Ontology based Online Assistant for Bioinformatics Tools

Dr. Archana Bachhav, Dr. Madhukar Shelar

Abstract: Algorithms are at the core of the whole field of Bioinformatics. The implementations of these algorithms in terms of computer programs are called as bioinformatics tools. Nowadays, biologists use biological data sources and tools to find relevant information for their research. However, with the explosion of the amount of online accessible data and tools, finding the relevant sources and retrieving the relevant information is not an easy task. Both novices and specialists need assistance in navigating the space of possible bioinformatics tools. This research presents the design of an ontology based Online Assistant which can enumerate valid tools for the Bioinformatics processes as well as their information. The Online Assistant for bioinformatics tools will act as a help function to obtain comprehensible information about them. The Online Assistant will also assist in navigating the space for bioinformatics tools The Online Assistant of bioinformatics tools can also provide ranking to the tools according to their comparative parameters i.e. selectivity, sensitivity and speed so as to help the users in the selection of the tool for their tasks.
