Initial steps towards a production platform for DNA sequence analysis on the grid.
BMC Bioinformatics. 2010;11:598
Authors: Luyf AC, van Schaik BD, de Vries M, Baas F, van Kampen AH, Olabarriaga SD
Bioinformatics is confronted with a new data explosion due to the availability of high throughput DNA sequencers. Data storage and analysis becomes a problem on local servers, and therefore it is needed to switch to other IT infrastructures. Grid and workflow technology can help to handle the data more efficiently, as well as facilitate collaborations. However, interfaces to grids are often unfriendly to novice users.
