SNP locator: a candidate SNP selection tool

[Abstract] In this work, a data integration approach using a federated model based on a service oriented architecture (SOA) is presented. The BioMOBY middleware was used to implement each service which is part of the integration process. As an example of usage of this architecture, a web tool for candidate SNP selection has been developed. Thus, several BioMOBY services have been created as the model layer of the web application. Each data source has a wrapper which communicates with the federated model, that is, the BioMOBY model, and this model is the one that interacts with the client.Red Gallega de Investigación sobre Cáncer Colorrectal; Ref. 2009/58Programa Iberoamericano de Ciencia y Tecnología para el Desarrollo; 209RT-0366Instituto de Salud Carlos III; PIO52048Instituto de Salud Carlos III; RD07/0067/0005Galicia.
