Currently the amount of information in the field of molecular biology is huge. The areas of Genomics and Proteomics are no exception. There are many accessible databases on the Web with important information for studies in these areas. The fact that there is too much information can be good because of huge websites terms where to look and always be information to what we seek and bad for not being simple access to information and can be a lot of redundant information, and sometimes the identifiers the items of information (genes, proteins, for example) are different for the same item in different websites. There are several websites with information relevant to studies in genomics and proteomics. Each has its shape and the way it makes access to the data in each varies from website to website. Many of these websites offer APIs (Application Programming Interface), which allows access to information applications software, while others keep all your information in databases and show content in HTML pages. These various ways that we can refer to the information on genomics and proteomics make it difficult to access software applications, in turn hampering the work of biologists. Furthermore, sometimes researchers have studying a large number of genes (resulting, for example a sequencing a genome) or protein (to provide, for example, oas positions of the linear structure of amino acids which will arise propellers - secondary structures ). In these cases that involve a grid amount of genes or proteins, automatic methods are valuable extremanete. Not only the speed in achieving results but because they can use various types of information (collected on the Web) to help the expert to group a large number of genes or help in explaining where appear the secondary structures in proteins. To do this will produce a Web portal that facilitates this collection task information while making this grouping of genes and proteins in a rational way, without the existence of multiple identifiers for the same item. The website will enable researchers to add new repositories containing API's or repositories that do not have any API.
