Enabling distributed processing and management of biological data using the grid and web technologies.
Transcriptomic technologies have dramatically reshaped modern biological research by deriving profiles of genome-wide expression of living organisms, and producing an unprecedented wealth of quantitative data. Given this characteristic, microarray experiments are considered high-throughput both in terms of data (data intensive) and processing (computationally intensive). GRISSOM Web Tools enable the exploitation of GRID resources for DNA microarray data distributed processing and management. It provides experts with a complete web-based solution for managing, searching and disseminating biological knowledge in the context of gene expression patterns on a genomic scale. Through the incorporation of novel workflows and various web services, the platform is gradually transformed to a powerful environment for knowledge discovery in the biomedical research.
