The Focus of Each Domain 2010-2013 2012-2014 Biology Chemistry 2012+ Scientific Collaboration
Some initiatives in the Biology Domain • Sequence Services • SESL
Sequence Services – the Rationale “It takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place!” -- Red Queen
Sequence Services Phase 1 (2010) Sequence Services in the Cloud
Sequence Services: Deliverables 4 proof-of-concept implementations were built Cognizant & Eagle Constellation & Microsoft Infosys Thomson Reuters Sequence Services site
Sequence Services Phase 2 (2011) Management and Analysis of Next Generation Sequencing Data “Bring analysis to the data” e.g. 1,000 Genomes
The Biology Domain • Sequence Services • SESL
SESL: Try this at your desk…. Which diseases are correlated to TCF7L2? Gene/Protein Literature – Full Text Literature - Abstracts Gene expression Inherited diseases
Try it again with Pistoia’s SESL…. • Gene naming/synonyms • Gene Function • Literature statistics • Disease co-occurrences • Gene/protein interactions • …all in one report from one search • HOW? A standard ontology, data model, query language, report structure, etc.
Signposting: Standards used in SESL Blending existing standards
The Deliverables of SESL • A proof-of-concept to demonstrate feasibility and clarify requirements • A functional specification for query brokering, result filtering, report generation • A potential for a new business model SESL website

Energy Influence Delivery Trust
Our industry needs a Disruptive Innovation. That Disruption...is Pistoia IF YOU WANT TO GO FAST, GO ALONE IF YOU WANT TO GO FAR, GO TOGETHER
Life Science Industry – Driving Business Change Ideas & Strategy PRISME New Business Models IMI Standards Lots of Groups out there Driving Business Change Innovation creates quicker cycles of change Pistoia W3C HCLS CDISC Potential collaborations BioIT NIH BBSRC SILA Funding
Discussion Its all about delivery! And funding And bringing the right parties together who can deliver
How best to work together • We have overlap in organisations and people • Share our strategies • Look for ideas that could become delivery projects • Who do we need to influence for funding and expertise contributions
