ABrowse architecture. ABrowse framework contains three layers: the user interaction layer, the request/data processing layer and the database layer. Moreover, the standard web service is provided for open data access. The default database scheme is compatible with BioMart, thus developers can configure a BioMart instance to access data stored in ABrowse databases. All the data stored in ABrowse system can be openly accessed from external bioinformatic computational applications seamlessly for further analysis.
