TAMBIS: Transparent Access to Multiple Bioinformatics Information Sources

UNLABELLED TAMBIS (Transparent Access to Multiple Bioinformatics Information Sources) is an application that allows biologists to ask rich and complex questions over a range of bioinformatics resources. It is based on a model of the knowledge of the concepts and their relationships in molecular biology and bioinformatics. AVAILABILITY TAMBIS is available as an applet from http://img.cs.man.ac.uk/tambis SUPPLEMENTARY: A full manual, tutorial and videos can be found at http://img.cs.man.ac.uk/tambis.
