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.

The team has developed tools and infrastructure to allow:

  • the design, editing and execution of workflows in Taverna
  • the sharing of workflows and related data by myExperiment
  • the cataloguing and annotation of services in BioCatalogue and Feta
  • the creation of user-friendly rich clients such as UTOPIA

These tools help to form the basis for the team’s work on e-Labs.

New video from eIUS

The e-Infrastructure Use Cases and Service Usage Models (eIUS) Project have produced a video about “e-infrastructure case study Bioinformatics”. The video discusses the application of Taverna for Trypanosomiasis research and the sharing of workflows on myExperiment. It includes appearances from Carole Goble, David De Roure, Andrew Brass and Paul Fisher.

The video is available in wmv format.
