GIS, bioinformatics collaborations offer promising new perspectives

with references to genetics stated in geospatial terms"deserts" of uncharted genetic space, "neighborhoods" of genes, and genetic "pathways," for example. When a GIS researcher borrowed one of Sobrals slides defining bioinformatics and noted that most of the text still applied when "GIS" was exchanged for "bioinformatics," it was clear that the fields define their needs in silkjkljmilar ways.

According to GIS expert Michael Goodchild of UC-Santa Barbara, the meeting was long needed. "In GIS and bioinformatics there is increasing need to share data among researchers, policy makers, and the general public," he said. Goodchild noted that, more than ever before, the Internet, the World Wide Web, and digital library technology are helping to make data-sharing possible. "This new collaboration between GIS and bioinformatics will allow us to exchange experiences, methods, and best practices in data sharing."
