Description
The NA4 Life Sciences session will be the opportunity to
review the status of the biomedical applications
deployed on EGEE. Time will be dedicated to discussion
with related projects and presentations selected from
the conference call for abstracts.
The session is divided in three subsessions dedicated
to medical imaging, bioinformatics and drug discovery.

Biological data are most times published and then become public ones. They, then, do
not need to be isolated or encrypted. But, in some cases, these data stemed from
patients or are analyzed with, for instance, pharmaceutical or agronomics goals. Also
in simple ways , these data, before to become public, have to be kept confidential
while researchers haven’t been able to publish their work...

One of the problems encountered while porting, in the
framework of the BIOINFOGRID EU
project, bioinformatics applications to the GRID, concerns
their input-output.
Many of the widely used tools in bioinformatics, have been
developed when the grid
technology was not yet established, so they make their
input out from the computer
local disk.
To port such an application on the grid,...

Bioinformatics analysis of data produced by high-throughput biology, for
instance genome projects [1], is one of the major challenges for the next years.
Some requirements of such analysis are to access up-to-date databanks
(of sequences, patterns, 3D structures, etc.) and relevant algorithms (
sequence similarity, multiple alignment, pattern scanning, etc.) [2]. Since 1998,
we are...

The vast amount in complexity of data generated in Genomic Research implies that new
dedicated and powerful computational tools need to be developed to meet their
analysis requirements. Blast in Grid (Big) is a Grid- enabled Blast service that
enables bioinformatic users to deal with datasets up to the order of hundreds of
thousand sequences. Many efforts have been done in the literature...

Bringing 3D-EM to the Grid.
---------------------------
3D-EM is a well established technique that allows us to
visualize biological
structures across a wide range of sizes. As such, it
provides a bridge
between more fine-grained techniques (such as X-ray
crystallography or
NMR) and coarser methods like traditional light microscopy,
making
an un-substitutable tool for...

Modelling and simulation techniques are valuable tools for the understanding of
biological systems. Such systems can be described by a set of constraint biochemical
reactions and translated into a system of differential equations. Each reaction has
substrates and products with given stoichiometries, and modifiers or catalysts that
affect the reaction kinetics. Often the topology of these...

The talk will provide an overview of the H5N1 data
challenge deployed in April-May 2006. It will provide
information on grid deployment metrics as well as
information on the biological analysis going-on.
