國際基因組源中心（The National Center for Genome Resources,， NCGR http://www.ncgr.org/,）8月25日開放了一個(gè)綜合系統(tǒng)軟件平臺(tái),。
這一平臺(tái)名為ISYS,，是一個(gè)將獨(dú)立的生物信息軟件工具、數(shù)據(jù),、分析程序和可視工具結(jié)合起來的系統(tǒng),。在2001年NCGR與國際農(nóng)業(yè)研究咨詢小組（Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research）為了增加作物產(chǎn)量開發(fā)出了這一平臺(tái)。現(xiàn)在研究者們可以利用這一系統(tǒng)進(jìn)行本系統(tǒng)基礎(chǔ)研究或者其它研究課題,。
介紹如下：
The National Center for Genome Resources (NCGR) in Santa Fe, New Mexico, is an independent, nonprofit research institution that develops and uses informatics for biological discovery.
Scientists at NCGR study the influence of genetic variability of both host and pathogen on infectious disease progression and its subsequent impact on human health. Computational biologists, population geneticists, and mathematicians are developing and using novel algorithms and statistical approaches to model complex biological systems. Particular emphasis is placed on meeting the challenges presented in systems biology today, including sparse experimental datasets, poorly defined biological networks, and data collected on disparate timescales.
NCGR is a unique provider of professionally engineered software and computational discovery platforms for the scientific community. At its inception in 1994, NCGR's mandate was to develop the Genome Sequence Data Base (GSDB), the first publicly accessible, relational database of human genome sequences from Los Alamos National Laboratory. NCGR has continued to design and maintain publically accessible genomic information resources, such as TAIR and LIS, as well as novel bioinformatic tools, such as Gene-X Lite, ISYS, and XGI, used at research institutions worldwide. Software engineers and developers at NCGR are experienced at creating bioinformatics platforms, incorporating automated annotation and visualization tools, for genome mapping and pathway analysis based on data obtained from high-throughput biotechnologies.
