碩士 === 長庚大學 === 資訊管理學研究所 === 96 === Unequivocal from the simple interpretation of Bioinformatics - Applications of information technology that assist the study of molecular biology, it is not difficult to realize the primary goal of Bioinformatics is to help researchers to develop tools that collecting and interpreting massive volume of biological data; hence the abilities of information management to incorporate data integrations and data analyses related skills and know-how into this sector become vitally important. Currently, data on molecular biology is still growing at an exponential rate, various new aspects and associations are being discovered, where integrative methodologies and tools in information management can be used to alleviate those needs. This thesis proposed to develop a query automation system for Biological information employed under web service composition techniques to integrate Bioinformatics services. The main goal of this study is to demonstrate the potentials of composite of Bioinformatics web service, hence this query automation system implemented on the Human Genome only, where the query system is fully automated initiated manually by input a user’s queries; the system stores the resultant data and then integrated the information which the search service brings back, at the local site. Furthermore, with the rich, integrated recourses and tools provided at European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI), this system can be further extended and developed into a comprehensive system, such as to include information on alternative splicing and protein domains.
