The Biomolecular Interaction Network Database, BIND is the fastest growing database in Bioinformatics. A torrent of new information from the yeast model organism has been added thanks to two large scale experiments in mass spectromety published in the Jan 12 2002 issue of Nature. The combined dataset of all known yeast interactions together with a new complex-finding algorithm recently published in the Jan 11 2002 issue of Science, gives a compelling glimpse of the overall structure of the eucaryotic nucleolus, the large nuclear organelle that assembles ribosomes, and is one of the largest structures in a eucaryotic cell. The BIND database sits atop significant infrastructure in Bioinformatics including the NCBI data model, an integrated database called SeqHound and high-performance cluster computing to compute protein sequence neighbors. An overview of the new scientific results obtained by combining this data together over the past two weeks will be presented as well the global synthesis of molecular assembly information and the underlying architecture of the BIND system.
