Abstract DiscoverySpace is a graphical application for bioinformatics data analysis. Users can seamlessly traverse references between biological databases and draw together annotations in an intuitive tabular interface. Datasets can be compared using a suite of novel tools to aid in the identification of significant patterns. DiscoverySpace is of broad utility and its particular strength is in the analysis of serial analysis of gene expression SAGE data. The application is freely available online. Rationale Underlying DiscoverySpace the DiscoveryDB relational database integrates 26 biological databases Table 1 . Although relational databases are indispensable tools for large-scale data analysis they present a technically challenging interface. DiscoverySpace provides user interfaces that help researchers to conceptualize visualize and manipulate available datasets allowing them to construct
