1. A knowledge base for storing, managing, organizing and querying data comprising scientific experiment information, said knowledge base comprising:
- a plurality of feature sets, each feature set comprising at least one feature and associated statistical information;
an index set comprising mapping identifiers, wherein each mapping identifier represents a unique feature;
a taxonomy comprising a list of tags that may be associated with features in the plurality of feature sets; and
a scoring table comprising information about the correlation between each feature set and all other feature sets.

2. A method of providing data to a knowledge base of scientific information;
- the method comprising;
(a) receiving raw data from one or more samples, wherein the raw data includes information on one or more features with indications of responses of said features to a treatment or stimulus;
(b) producing an input feature set from the raw data by removing or reorganizing information about at least some less relevant features;
(c) correlating the input feature set against a plurality or all of the pre-existing feature sets in the knowledge base;
(d) correlating the input feature set against one or more feature groups in the knowledge base, wherein the feature groups provide collections of features having structural and/or functional characteristics in common; and
(e) storing correlation information generated in (c) and (d) for use in responding to queries involving feature groups or feature sets. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5)
