We report on a query language, called PROXIMAL, for the efficient specification of complex queries over biological sequences. We present a data model for asking complex and structured questions of biological sequences, and show how the query language can be used. In addition, we describe a visual query metaphor intended for a biologist-friendly front end to the PROXIMAL query language.
我们报告了一种名为PROXIMAL的查询语言,用于对生物序列进行复杂查询的高效规范。我们提出了一个用于对生物序列提出复杂且结构化问题的数据模型,并展示了如何使用该查询语言。此外,我们描述了一种可视化查询隐喻,旨在为PROXIMAL查询语言提供一个对生物学家友好的前端。
