Development of Standards-Compliant Tools for Molecular Interaction Data Management

Workshop organiser:
Henning Hermjakob: EBI, Hinxton, Cambridge, UK

Molecular interaction data is a key resource in modern biomedical research, but interactions are often presented in different data formats and managed in different protocols. The HUPO Proteomics Standards Initiative has developed the PSI MI XML format, a community standard for molecular interactions that is now widely implemented. The aim of this workshop is to provide intensive training in the development of standards-compliant software for molecular interaction data management.
