System and method for biotechnology information access and data analysis
First Claim
1. A data access and analysis system, comprising:
- (a) a data source containing at least a partial copy of at least two public databases;
(b) at least one search program module operatively coupled to the data source and configured to carry out a search of said databases in said data source according to a user query;
(c) a data mining module operatively coupled to the data source and configured to provide for clustering of search results from said user query; and
(d) a user interface program module operatively coupled to said search program module and said data mining module, said user interface program module configured provide a visual interface for creating said user query and viewing said search results.

Abstract
Systems and methods for database searching and data analysis with simultaneous, unified access to multiple heterogeneous data sources with effective reuse of user search session information for data analysis. The systems comprise a data source containing at least a partial copy of at least two public databases, at least one search program module operatively coupled to the data source and configured to carry out a search of the databases in the data source according to a user query, a data mining module operatively coupled to the data source and configured to provide for clustering of search results or documents from the user query and a user interface program module operatively coupled to the search program module and the data mining module, the user interface program module configured provide a visual interface for creating the user query and viewing the search results.
