Abstract
This chapter presents how well known bioinformatics resources can be described as search services in the search computing framework and how integrated analyses over such services can be carried out. An initial set of bioinformatics services has been described and registered in the search computing framework and a bioinformatics search computing (Bio-SeCo) application using these services has been created. This current prototype application, the available services which it uses, the queries which are supported, the kind of interaction which is therefore made available to the users, and the future scenarios are here described and discussed.
