The purpose of the GeneTegra system is to provide users with a single entry point for gathering knowledge though the integration of data sources

GeneTegra is a novel integration application that allows users to find, gather, and query diverse, disparate data sources from a single interface. GeneTegra offers data linking and extraction functionality for heterogenous data sources without creating a physical data warehouse. It reduces the time spent on manual data management and data abstraction processes and improves turnaround time. The software addresses the integration requirements of geneticists and biologists working with unpublished data, saving them time and effort while expanding their research knowledge base. A biomedical researcher may have, for example, gene data in Oracle and SQL databases and multiple Affymetrix delimited text files. GeneTegra makes the process of data mining and comparing the data more efficient and accurate, especially for large data sets.
