    Description

    Life Sciences is a very active field of research using the EGEE infrastructure. Several EGEE related projects are also exploring the use of gLite middleware for bioinformatics and healthcare. For several years now, the Biomed Virtual Organization keeps standing as the first non LHC Virtual Organization consumming about 5% of the infrastructure resources. .The User Forum is a wonderful opportunity to get an overview of the present adoption of grids in the Life Sciences communities through the dedicated oral sessions session but also through the posters and demos exhibition as well as the OGF Life Sciences and e-Health workshop. Complementary to the "medical imaging" session, the "bioinformatics and biomedicine" session programme reflects the variety of topics currently addressed on EGEE and its related projects.

    1. 87. Genome Wide Haplotype analyses of human complex diseases with the EGEE grid

      Scientific results obtained using grid technology
      Oral
      Genome-wide association studies using hundred of thousands of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are commonly used for identifying new susceptibility genes for complex human diseases, but are generally restricted to single locus analyses because of computational burden. We illustrate here that their extension to genome-wide haplotype analyses is feasible thanks to the EGEE computing grid...

    2. 126. Computational annotation of UTR cis-regulatory modules using the EGEE (gLite) infrastructure.

      Scientific results obtained using grid technology
      Oral
      Many studies report on the detection and functional characterization of cis-regulatory motifs in untranslated regions (UTRs) of Messenger Ribonucleic Acid (mRNAs), but little is known about the nature and functional role of their distribution. To address this issue we have developed a computational approach which resorts to data mining techniques. This approach is particularly CPU demanding...

    3. 158. Cancer surveillance network on a grid infrastructure
      Dr Lydia Maigne (CNRS IN2P3 LPC), Mr Paul De Vlieger (CNRS IN2P3 LPC / ERIM)
      05/03/2009, 18:15
      End-user environments and portal technologies
      Oral
      Nowadays, grid technologies are sufficiently mature to apply to different needs other than large scale computing. The grid possibilities in terms of data transfer and access are reliable and secure enough to fit medical data requirements. In the Auvergne region, a Cancer Surveillance Network using grid technologies is currently under design. This network aims at improving the exchange of...
