Abstract
The present invention relates to systems and methods for formatting and storing data and information collected from diverse biological domains. A uniform method of processing data output from biological sources of information uses an intermediary markup language to reformat the data output and organize the information contained therein for subsequent storage in a data warehouse. A generic loader is implemented and configured to receive data in a transitional format, transpose the data into a database-compatible language and store the data in a data warehouse.
