This paper describes the evolution of the main services of the ProGen- Grid (Proteomics & Genomics Grid) system, a distributed and ubiquitous grid en- vironment (“virtual laboratory”), based on Workflow and supporting the design, execution and monitoring of “in silico” experiments in bioinformatics. ProGenGrid is a Grid-based Problem Solving Environment that allows the com- position of data sources and bioinformatics programs wrapped as Web Services (WS). The use of WS provides ease of use and fosters re-use. The resulting work- flow of WS is then scheduled on the Grid, leveraging Grid-middleware services. In particular, ProGenGrid offers a modular bag of services and currently is focused on the biological simulation of two important bioinformatics problems: prediction of the secondary structure of proteins, and sequence alignment of proteins. Both services are based on an enhanced data access service.

Abstract

This paper describes the evolution of the main services of the ProGen- Grid (Proteomics & Genomics Grid) system, a distributed and ubiquitous grid en- vironment (“virtual laboratory”), based on Workflow and supporting the design, execution and monitoring of “in silico” experiments in bioinformatics. ProGenGrid is a Grid-based Problem Solving Environment that allows the com- position of data sources and bioinformatics programs wrapped as Web Services (WS). The use of WS provides ease of use and fosters re-use. The resulting work- flow of WS is then scheduled on the Grid, leveraging Grid-middleware services. In particular, ProGenGrid offers a modular bag of services and currently is focused on the biological simulation of two important bioinformatics problems: prediction of the secondary structure of proteins, and sequence alignment of proteins. Both services are based on an enhanced data access service.
