Bio Informatics Workflows and the Grid

08-16-2009, 10:49 AM

Dear All,

I am looking for a workflow that is compute and data intensive and also real world. So i searched the Internet and came across applictions of bio informatics and gene sequencing, Which i found that it might be something what i am looking for.
also i wanted some workflow which can have some variation from its generic to more specific form.

I figured out after having read the NGS, that i can use different free or proprietary applications for each of the steps in the workflow, ie- for reading , alignment and analysis.

Also because each of the activity is huge and data intensive so i can do the activity in parallel by splitting the data that is to be processed.

Can you guys please help me with my objective??
if i want to do this experiment at the Austrian Grid what software i will need and where do i get these software and the datasets to be used as input data.

kind regards

Your best bet would probably collaborating with local researchers in the NGS space; also not quite sure what your objectives are -- test drive a grid environment?
