The GMOD Drupal Bioinformatic Server Framework

The GMOD Drupal Bioinformatic Server Framework

MOTIVATION Next-generation sequencing technologies have led to the widespread use of -omic applications. As a result, there is now a pronounced bioinformatic bottleneck. The general model organism database (GMOD) tool kit (http://gmod.org) has produced a number of resources aimed at addressing this issue. It lacks, however, a robust online solution that can deploy heterogeneous data and softwar...

Bioinformatic Application Integration with Distributed Server Approach

Many bioinformatic applications are computationally intensive. While many suggested using multiprocessor machines or distributed processing to handle computationally intensive programs, porting existing applications to these architectures and managing these applications are in general difficult. This paper proposes a distributed server approach which adapts the concept of peer-to-peer communica...

The BioExtract Server: a web-based bioinformatic workflow platform

The BioExtract Server (bioextract.org) is an open, web-based system designed to aid researchers in the analysis of genomic data by providing a platform for the creation of bioinformatic workflows. Scientific workflows are created within the system by recording tasks performed by the user. These tasks may include querying multiple, distributed data sources, saving query results as searchable dat...

The Case of Drupal and Twitter

// Microblogging is a popular form of social media that has quickly permeated both enterprise and open source software development communities. However, how exactly open source communities can leverage microblogging isn't yet well understood. // SOCIAL MEDIA HAS become an important means of communication in modern society, as evidenced by the widespread use of wikis, blogs, and social networkin...
