Researchers can now perform complex bioinformatics analyses remotely using the Bioinformatics on Demand (BOD) system. This virtual workbench leverages Grid computing for customized, comprehensive biological data processing.

Area of Science:

  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology
  • Genomics

Background:

  • The integration of global bioinformatics resources is a significant challenge for the biological community.
  • There is a need for accessible platforms for comprehensive, customized bioinformatics analyses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish the Bioinformatics on Demand (BOD) system, a web-based virtual workbench.
  • To facilitate customized, comprehensive bioinformatics work for researchers using Grid computing technology.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a web portal for users to submit complex queries and computation requests (e.g., DNA assembly to protein folding).
  • Implemented a task scheduler that distributes jobs and subtasks across computation nodes.
  • Utilized a pipeline model for data description and a relational database for job management.
