In this paper, we present a significant integrative informatics platform, Knowledge Discovery Environment of Bioscience (KDE Bioscience), which is supposed to provide a solution of integration of biological data, algorithms, computing hardware, and biologist intelligence for bioinformatics. Providing biologists with an easyto-use bioinformatics platform requires the integration of sequence and annotation data in different formats from DBMS, flat files, and web pages. KDE Bioscience provides a mechanism for metadata processing that executes before the workflow operates on the actual data. KDE Bioscience has so far collected more than 60 commonly used bioinformatics programs covering the analysis and alignment of nucleotide and protein sequences. KDE Bioscience, which adopts workflow and J2EE, provides an integrative platform for biologists to collaborate and use distributed computing resources in a simple manner.	./cache/cord-315610-ihh521ur.txt	./txt/cord-315610-ihh521ur.txt
