Use of Graph Database for the Integration of Heterogeneous Biological Data by Byoung-Ha Yoon, Seon-Kyu Kim, Seon-Young Kim

“…Recently, a new type of database, called the graph-based database, was developed to natively represent various kinds of complex relationships, and it is widely used among computer science communities and IT industries. Here, we demonstrate the feasibility of using a graph-based database for complex biological relationships by comparing the performance between MySQL and Neo4j, one of the most widely used graph databases. …”
