MIPS data sources are heterogeneous by nature. An integration layer based on reusable distributed components and Web Services integrates internal and external sources. These components can be used in the same way for any arbitrary combination of databases and services. Workflows can be generated; for instance a Yeast PPI network can be selected from the interaction database, subsequently the PEDANT system is invoked to retrieve functional annotation and using the SIMAP similarity system the information is mapped onto another genome to predict a putative functional network.
