- Fan Guo, Lei Li, C. Faloutsos, E. Xing. 2008. C-DEM: a multi-modal query system for Drosophila Embryo databases. Abstract: The amount of biological data publicly available has experienced an exponential growth as the technology advances. Online databases are now playing an important role as information repositories as well as easily accessible platforms for researchers to communicate and contribute. Recent research projects in image bioinformatics produce a number of databases of images, which visualize the spatial expression pattern of a gene (eg. "fj"), and most of which also have one or several annotation keywords (eg., "embryonic hindgut").
