What is BIOLAP?
OLAP is a powerful tool that is widely used by the business community to analyze
large financial data sets. Despite the big data sets found in modern biology, OLAP
has not been widely adopted by the biology community. We want to change that. BIOLAP
is open source OLAP for biology data. We take the open source tools provided by the
JPivot project, and extend them to handle biology data types. In our first release,
we focus on extensions to analyze large genomic sequence databases.
As an application we apply these tools to browse and analyze the iProClass
database of over over 2m protein sequences.
