ODD-Genes

OGSA-DAI Demo for Genetics

"This project has demonstrated how Grid technologies can be used to enable true e-Science - discoveries that would not otherwise have been achieved without this infrastructure in place."
Professor Peter Ghazal, Director, GTI.

Funded under the UK eScience Programme, this project builds upon the results of two others, the Open Grid Services Architecture Data Access and Integration project and the Sun Data and Compute Grids project.

ODD-Genes demonstrates the power of OGSA-DAI in enabling researchers in genetics to perform new kinds of data analysis, greatly enhancing their ability to understand the wealth of data in post-genomic bioinformatics.

Also making use of the new SunDCG Transfer queue Over Globus (TOG), developed to enhance SUN Grid Engine, ODD-Genes harnesses the results of two EPCC Grid Core Programme projects to create new ways of doing e-Science.

ODD-Genes demonstrates to genetics researchers at the Scottish Centre for Genomics Technology and Informatics and the MRC Human Genetics Unit at Edinburgh's Western General hospital the power of data and compute integration over the Grid.
