| MiMI: |
Formerly called the Michigan Protein Database (MIPD).
It is currently available here.
MiMI is an ongoing project supported by NCIBI. Collaborators
include the UM Medical School. Additional sponsors include the NSF, NIH, MCBI, and Microsoft.

| Biological Texts: |
There is a great deal of interest on understanding
biological texts automatically. There are also a large number of biological
databases dealing with a vairety of topics. The goal of our porject
is to be able to combine these two efforts by storing the information
extracted from the text parsing into an XML database with a proper
data model. With all the information managed by a database engine,
complex queries can be issued and data mining can be applied.

| Integrated Protein Information: |
Protein data, from sequence and structure to interaction, is being generated
through many diverse methodologies; it is stored and reported in numerous forms and multiple
places. The magnitude of the data limits researchers abilities to utilize all information
generated. Effective integration of protein data can be accomplished through better data
modeling. Using an appropriate data model can enable researchers to exploit data more fully.
Using TIMBER as our repository, we are
developing a data model which allows fuller usage of the current protein data.
