Abstract

This paper shows how the agility provided by the Bio-jETI platform helps to interactively design bioinformatics analysis processes. Bio-jETI is a platform for the integration, orchestration and provision of services. The agility in design and execution is demonstrated by developing seven variations on a multiple sequence alignment workflow.

This work has been partially supported by the Center of Applied Proteomics (ZAP) Dortmund. The EU-raised ZAP focuses on the development of new technologies in proteomics, glycoanalysis, proteinbiochips, biostatistics, and bioinformatics in terms of life science.
