The myGrid team produce and use a suite of tools designed to “help e-Scientists get on with science and get on with scientists”. The tools support the creation of e-laboratories and have been used in domains as diverse as systems biology, social science, music, astronomy, multimedia and chemistry. The tools have been adopted by a large number of projects and institutions.

Taverna Workbench 2.3.0 available for download
The myGrid team have released Taverna Workbench 2.3.0 and command line tool. Taverna Workbench now includes support for REST and XPath services, allows the calling of commands as part of your workflow, and integrates with service catalogues such as the BioCatalogue.. The command line tool allows you to run workflows outside of the workbench and is available as a stand-alone download or bundled with the Taverna Workbench 2.3.0 download.
Taverna 2.3.0’s features include:
- Access to local and remote resources and analysis tools, Web and grid services; 3500+ service s available on start up

- Not restricted to predetermined services - rapid incorporation of new services without coding
- Extensible service plug-in architecture for adding new service types
- Up-to-date R support (version 2.11.1)
- Excel and csv spreadsheet support
- Secure access to resources on the Web
- Packaging of services to allow for customisation and sharing of service sets (e.g. “Taverna for chemists”)
- Standards-compliant provenance collection
- Graphical workflow designer - drag and drop workflow components
- Workflow validation during design time and intermediate values during workflow runs for debugging workflows
- Cross platform (written in Java), open source, LGPL licensed
