Bioinformatics in medical practice: what is necessary for a hospital?
Studies in health technology and informatics 2001;
84(
Pt 2):.
Building bioinformatic facilities for a university hospital is pretty similar to using standardized building blocks to construct a house. Starting with the intention to built a dwelling house, a factory or just a shelter the architect draws a construction plan and determines the material to be used. In general, the building is then constructed by the workmen following exactly the plan. However, for particular reasons, minor alterations may be needed to improve the construction of the building. Here we use the metaphor of constructing a "bio-informatics building" to describe the steps needed to support the daily tasks of a university hospital medical microbiology department which uses genomic methods quite extensively for pathogen identification. Today the Giessen "bioinformatics building" is not yet complete but we have been able to lay solid foundations and erect the ground floor which is functional already. Using a combination of standard tools, internet accessible genomic databases and some own software tools we can support genome sequencing from the raw sequence to pathogen identification.
