Naratted by Dr. Arnon Rungsawang Dept. of Computer Engineering Kasetsart University Thai National Grid Center APAN26 - 6 Aug 2008, Queenstown, NZ
BioGrid Team Prince of Songkla University • Computer Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering • Center for Genomics and Bioinformatics Research, Faculty of Science BioGrid Project APAN26 - 6 Aug 2008, Queenstown, NZ
Funding This project has been funded by Thai National Grid Center (TNGC) under Software Industry Promotion Agency (SIPA). BioGrid Project APAN26 - 6 Aug 2008, Queenstown, NZ
Objectives • To build BioGrid infrastructure for Thailand • To build a research network in Bioinformatics • To navigate the Grid usage in Bioinformatics • To build new researchers in Bioinformatics • To promote the myGrid technology BioGrid Project APAN26 - 6 Aug 2008, Queenstown, NZ
Accomplishments • Software Installation and Support: • MPIBlast • Bio Roll • Bio Portal • Taverna • Training: related workshops BioGrid Project APAN26 - 6 Aug 2008, Queenstown, NZ
Background: Bioinformatics • Apply computer technology to biological information • gather, store, analyze and integrate biological and genetic information such as nucleotide and amino acid sequences • Example applications: • gene-based drug discovery and development • Multidiscipline: • Biology, Computer Science, Mathematics and Information Technology BioGrid Project APAN26 - 6 Aug 2008, Queenstown, NZ
MPIBlast http://www.mpiblast.org/ • A Message Passing Interface - Basic Local Alignment Search Tool, • Uses the parallel implementation of NCBI BLAST, • Efficiently utilizes distributed computational resources through database fragmentation, query segmentation, intelligent scheduling, and parallel I/O, • Improves NCBI BLAST performance by several orders of magnitude while scaling to hundreds of processors. BioGrid Project APAN26 - 6 Aug 2008, Queenstown, NZ
MPIBlast Databases on TNGC The below databases are on service on the Tera Cluster of the Thai National Grid Center. nr: Non-redundant protein sequence database nt: Not non-redundant nucleotide database Etc. BioGrid Project APAN26 - 6 Aug 2008, Queenstown, NZ
Bio Portal on TNGC • The pioneer portal on the the Tera Cluster of the Thai National Grid Center uses • Gridsphere portal framework • MPI-Blast service http://tera.thaigrid.or.th:8081/gridsphere Contact: support@psu-grid.coe.psu.ac.th BioGrid Project APAN26 - 6 Aug 2008, Queenstown, NZ
Bio Grid Infrastructure Bio Grid services include web services, portals, command line tools. BioGrid Project APAN26 - 6 Aug 2008, Queenstown, NZ
Taverna BioGrid Project APAN26 - 6 Aug 2008, Queenstown, NZ
Taverna • Free software tool • Support various platform • For designing and executing workflows http://taverna.sourceforge.net/ BioGrid Project APAN26 - 6 Aug 2008, Queenstown, NZ
What is a Workflow? A set of components and relations between them used to define a complex process from simple building blocks BioGrid Project APAN26 - 6 Aug 2008, Queenstown, NZ
Fussy Old Cut-and-paste Method • Various services and databases are distributed and so different in standards • Cutting and Pasting between web pages in each window of browser needs labor, iteration and is difficult to verify • Can not apply to a large scale of research • nor fulfill the scientific expectation BioGrid Project APAN26 - 6 Aug 2008, Queenstown, NZ
Advantages of Using Workflows • High-level abstraction • Easier to understand and modify. • Easier to describe and discuss with others. • Describes what you want to do, not how to do it. • Automation • Sharing and re-use BioGrid Project APAN26 - 6 Aug 2008, Queenstown, NZ
Components in Taverna • Reusable building block which performs some well defined function within a process, • Computational resource accessible via the internet or on user's local work station, web services, command line tool, and perl scripts BioGrid Project APAN26 - 6 Aug 2008, Queenstown, NZ
Our Work: Thai Taverna documents • Installation • Composition • Plugins • Example • Etc. http://biogrid.coe.psu.ac.th BioGrid Project APAN26 - 6 Aug 2008, Queenstown, NZ
