Biomedical Informatics on the Cloud: A Treasure Hunt for Advancing Cardiovascular Medicine.

ABSTRACT: In the digital age of cardiovascular medicine, the rate of biomedical discovery can be greatly accelerated by the guidance and resources required to unearth potential collections of knowledge. A unified computational platform leverages metadata to not only provide direction but also empower researchers to mine a wealth of biomedical information and forge novel mechanistic insights. This review takes the opportunity to present an overview of the cloud-based computational environment, including the functional roles of metadata, the architecture schema of indexing and search, and the practical scenarios of machine learning-supported molecular signature extraction. By introducing several established resources and state-of-the-art workflows, we share with our readers a broadly defined informati
