What is myGrid?
 An e-Science Collaboration Since 2001
 Not a grid!
 Numerous partners involved:
 University of Manchester
 University of Southampton
 University of Oxford
 EMBL-EBI
 Provides sustainable and production quality software
 Supported by OMII-UK, EPSRC and BBSRC
 Mixture of developers, bioinformaticians and
researchers
Software | Services | Content | Skills | Community

Gridmy
Motivation
 Challenge:
Bioinformatics
 Large amounts of data
 Many open questions
 Numerous freely
available public
datasets and analysis
tools

Gridmy
Huge amounts of data
100+ Genes
QTL regions
Microarray
1000+ Genes
Next Gen
Sequencing
10,000+
Genes
How do I look
at all the genes
systematically?

Gridmy
Manual approach
 Search using public web sites and databases
 Pubmed
 Uniprot
 EBI BioMart
 Copy and paste to web tools for analysis
 NCBI Blast
 EBI InterPro
 Further processing locally
 R
 Perl
 Python

Gridmy
Manual: disadvantages
• Scale of analysis task overwhelms researchers
– lots of data
• User bias and premature filtering of datasets –
cherry picking
• Hypothesis-Driven approach to data analysis
• Constant changes in data - problems with re-
analysis of data
• Implicit methodologies (hyper-linking through
web pages)
• Error proliferation from any of the listed issues
– notably human error

Gridmy
Web services and workflows
 Web services
 Technology and standards for exposing code and
data resources that can be programmatically
consumed by a remote third party
 Description on how to interact with the service,
parameters, documentation
 Workflows
 General technique for describing and executing a
process
 Describe what you want to do running which
services

Gridmy
Taverna workflows
 A set of (local and remote)
services to analyze or manage
data
 Nested workflows are also
services
 Data-links connects services
 i.e. output from service A is input to
service B and C
 Describes the desired dataflow
instead of process coordination
 Automatic iterations
 Can customize list handling and
control links

Gridmy
What types of services?
 Public/private/secured WSDL/SOAP web services
 RESTful web services
 Spreadsheet import
 Command line tools (local/ssh)
 Inline scripts (Beanshell, R)
 Java APIs
 Customizations:
 BioMart, BioMoby / SADI
 Soaplab
 Grid services (Globus, EGEE gLite, caGrid)
 … your tool (Plugin tutorial on wiki)

Gridmy
Which services?
 Taverna is general, can connect to standard
web services for any domain
 Bioinformatics:
 From professional third-party organisations
providing robust & open data/analysis services
 ..to under-the-desk web services for one particular
purpose, ran by PhD students
  http://biocatalogue.org/ - 1730 services from 130
providers – crowd sourced and quality monitored

Gridmy

Gridmy
Taverna
workbench
 Graphical desktop tool
 No server installation
required
 Drag-and-drop services
into diagram
 Connect services, run,
reconnect, rerun
 Integrates diverse set
of tools

Gridmy
Sharing workflows
 myExperiment.org allows users to share,
find, download and rate workflows
 “Facebook for the scientist”
 3000 members, 1100 workflows

Gridmy
Extensible UI and engine
 Plugins can provide new “perspectives”
 i.e.: BioCatalogue, myExperiment
 Provide service-specific customization
 BioMart interface replicates web site
 Adding new functionality
 Looping, branching, dynamic service resolution
 New service types
 Design helpers, “Find matching service”

Gridmy
Taverna 3 “Next-gen”
 Under development for 2011
 Interactive, component-centric and data-centric
workflow design
 Pre-packaged workflow components
 Searching for workflow components from
BioCatalogue and myExperiment
 New myGrid workflow components library

Gridmy
Taverna command line
 Executes from a
Windows/Linux/OSX
shells
 Takes a predefined
workflow with files as
inputs and outputs
 Quick way to
“productionize” a
workflow

Gridmy
Taverna Server
 REST/SOAP interface to
execute workflows
 Client libraries for Ruby and Java
 Two demonstration web interfaces
 Ruby
 Java Portlets
 Future
 Detailed execution support and control
 Security delegation

Gridmy
Taverna portlet
 Example portlet
implementation
 Executes workflows
using Taverna Server

Gridmy
Ruby web interface
 Example customized
web interface
 Uses Ruby gem
t2-server

Gridmy
Taverna on the cloud
 Use-case:
 SNP analysis and annotation of
genome sequenced from
breeds of cows in Africa – why are
some of them resistent to X?
 Amazon EC2 with Taverna Server and local
services
 Custom (built-in-a-week) Ruby on Rails web
interface
 Runs through 31 chromosomes in 6.5 hours
using 10 instances - $26

Gridmy
Open source, open development
 Taverna suite of tools are all open source
and free to use
 Large user community, active mailing lists
 Lead developers: myGrid in Manchester
 Contributors from across the world
 PAL programme
 myGrid provides training, tutorials and
documentation
