There is a need recognized by the National Institute of Dental & Craniofacial Research and the National Cancer Institute to advance basic, translational and clinical saliva research. The goal of the Salivaomics Knowledge Base (SKB) is to create a data management system and web resource constructed to support human salivaomics research. To maximize the utility of the SKB for retrieval,integration and analysis of data, we have developed the Saliva Ontology and SDxMart. This article reviews the informatics advances in saliva diagnostics made possible by the Saliva Ontology and SDxMart.

生物信息学在唾液诊断方面的进展。

美国国家牙科和颅面研究所和国家癌症研究所承认有必要推进基础、转化和临床唾液研究。唾液组学知识库 (SKB) 的目标是创建一个数据管理系统和网络资源，以支持人类唾液组学研究。为了最大限度地利用 SKB 进行数据检索、整合和分析，我们开发了 Saliva Ontology 和 SDxMart。本文回顾了唾液本体和 SDxMart 在唾液诊断方面的信息学进展。
