[Myexperiment-discuss] RE: more workflow systems in the pipeline

[Lushbough, Carol]

The MyExperiment team has been very supportive of our BioExtract Server project (http://bioextract.org). The BioExtract Server is a Web-based workflow-enabling environment for distributed computing in genomics and evolutionary biology. With their help, researchers are able to import BioExtract Server workflows into MyExperiment as well as launch them directly from within MyExperiment. I want to take this opportunity to publicly thank them!

Subject: [Myexperiment-discuss] more workflow systems in the pipeline

 

This is a heads-up that we'll be announcing support for the Galaxy and Meandre systems in coming weeks...

 

Galaxy is aimed at experimental biologists and developers (http://galaxy.psu.edu/).  The Galaxy team kindly hosted our lead developer, Don Cruickshank, to commence the integration earlier this month and we already have the first stage of the support on myexperiment.org

 

Meandre is a semantic-web-driven data-intensive flow execution environment (http://seasr.org/meandre) which is used in digital humanities - support will go live at the end of the month. This integration has been supported by the NEMA project funded by the Andrew W Mellon Foundation, who also fund Meandre as part of the SEASR project.

 

We're also looking at Kepler (https://kepler-project.org/).  Preliminary work has been conducted by our colleagues at Monash e-Research Centre and we're now working on the implementation plan for Kepler support on myExperiment.org

 

Watch this space!
