myGrid: Personalised e-Science

on the Grid

Personalised extensible environments

fordata-intensive

in silico experiments in biology

e-Science & Biology

• Biology is a multi-faceted & increasingly multi-disciplinary science.

• Bioinformatics is an “e-Science”.– Discovery is done in silico on results

obtained from experiments using a number of analysis & data resources.

• Molecular biology & genomics are our particular focus.

Circadian Rhythms

• Has anyone studied the effect of neurotransmitters on the circadian rhythms in Drosophila?

• How do the functions of the clusters of proteins from my experiment interrelate? What are the proteins with a particular function?

• Is a structure known for this protein and what other proteins have a similar structure?

• Can I build a homology 3D model?• What is known about the homologous protein?

Information Weaving

• Large amounts of data & many applications.

• Highly heterogeneous.– Different types,

algorithms, forms, implementations, communities, service providers

• Highly complex and inter-related.

• Highly volatile.• Obstacles Everywhere

Descriptive knowledge

Circadian Rhythms

1. Has anyone else studied the effect of neurotransmitters on the circadian rhythms in Drosophila?

2. How do the functions of the clusters of proteins from my experiment interrelate? And what are the proteins with a particular function?

3. Is a structure known for this protein and what other proteins have a similar structure?

4. Can I build a homology 3D model?5. What is known about the

homologous protein?

E-Science Q & A

Who else has asked this question & can I use/adapt their approach?– Workflow.

What were the results at each stage?– Dynamic Data Repositories.

When was P12345 last updated?Which BLAST did I use?

– Provenance.Has PDB changed since I last ran this?

– Notification.

myGrid Objectives

• Straightforward discovery, interoperation, fusion, sharing of data, knowledge and workflows.

• Explicit management of workflows.– information & processes & best practice.

• Improving quality of experiments & data.– provenance & propagating change.

• Scientific discovery is personal & global.– personalisation & collaborative working.

• Security, ownership -> valuable assets.

Who is myGrid for?

– Users, developers, maintainers.– Biologists.– Bioinformaticians, resource

providers.– Tool builders, system

administrators.

myGrid Outcomes

1. e-Scientists– Environment built on toolkits for service

access, personalisation & community.– Gene function expression analysis (fly & yeast).– Annotation workbench for the PRINTS pattern

database.

2. Developers– Protocols and service descriptions.– myGrid-in-a-Box developers kit of core services.– Reference implementation services &

applications.– Bio services – already delivered.

myGrid Summary

• myGrid aims to develop infrastructure middleware for an e-Biologist’s workbench.

• The setting is bioinformatics but the results are intended to be generally applicable to e-Science.

• A mix of standard, vanguard and bleeding edge technologies, advanced development and (some) research.

• Academic & commercial partnership.• myGrid project is timely & reflects a

community desire to “collaborate, or die”.
