Highlights of the Year

The main novelty in 2015 was the use of Semantic Web technologies to support the integration and query and investigation of large-scale heterogeneous databases. These technologies were applied in the framework of the MiRNAdapt project (funded by ANR) to design a tool for representing and querying bio-molecular information. The tool Askomics was designed in this perspective. In addition, Semantic Web technologies are currently combined with Formal Concept Analysis, to decipher the main regulators of complex systems, with application in cancer system biology (novel project funded by Plan Cancer).
