Abstract

Experimental high-throughput techniques in biology are generating large amounts of data related to genes and proteins at different levels. The functional analysis of such datasets is a necessary key step in their interpretation. In this contribution we review different methodologies and applications for functional bioinformatics in the context of automated data and text analysis in biology.
