Importing Data

Retrieving data from multiple sources and inputting it for analysis can be challenging and time consuming. MathWorks products provide an environment with broad support for popular data formats as well as seamless integration with propriety and online databases.

• Biological file support – The Bioinformatics Toolbox and SimBiology provide access to popular biological file formats including FASTA, PDB, SCF, SBML, Affymetrix, GenePix, and ImaGene.
• Retrieving data from online databases – MathWorks products for computational biology let you interface with major Web-based databases, such as GenBank, EMBL, NCBI BLAST, and PDB
• Connection to proprietary databases – The Database Toolbox allows you to easily pull data from any ODBC/JDBC registered data source.
