摘      要：Biological data,represented by the data from omics platforms,are accumulating *** some other data-intensive scientific disciplines such as high-energy physics,climatology,meteorology,geology,geography and environmental sciences,modern life sciences have entered the information-rich era,the era of the 4th *** creation of Chinese information engineering infrastructure for pan-omics studies(CIEIPOS) has been long overdue as part of national scientific infrastructure,in accelerating the further development of Chinese life sciences,and translating rich data into knowledge and medical *** gathering facts of current status of international and Chinese bioinformatics communities in collecting,managing and utilizing biological data,the essay stresses the significance and urgency to create a data hub in CIEIPOS,discusses challenges and possible solutions to integrate,query and visualize these *** important component of CIEIPOS,which is not part of traditional biological data centers such as NCBI and EBI,is omics *** spectroscopy platform was taken as an example to illustrate the complexity of omics *** heavy dependency on computational power is *** demand for such power in omics studies is argued as the fundamental function to meet for *** outlook of CIEIPOS in hardware and network is discussed.
