Integrative Biology: Real science through e-Science
نویسندگان
چکیده
‘eScience can be described as the large scale science that will increasingly be carried out through distributed global collaborations enabled by the Internet.’ This describes the fundamental requirements of the Integrative Biology project to support a diverse user community to bring together scientists and technologists to develop a ‘collaboratory’ for heart and cancer modelling. This paper aims to describe the scientific progress being made through the use of the facilities developed or made available to collaborating scientists in the area of complex heart modelling and describes how this new approach is changing the way that they perform their research.

متن کاملBASIS: an internet resource for network modelling
There is a growing realisation that complex biological processes cannot be understood through the application of ever more reductionist experimental programs alone. Recognising this, we have a constructed a flexible web-service based modelling system called BASIS (Biology of Ageing e-Science Integration and Simulation), which facilitates model construction and development. In particular it allo...
متن کاملThe Integrative Biology Grid – Building on e-Science Components
The primary aim of the Integrative Biology (IB) project is to develop a second generation ”Hybrid Grid” to support post-genomic research in integrative biology. The requirements for the grid and applications middleware were determined by considering the needs of two vitally important clinical areas, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Component services of the IB grid have been in use by the sci...
متن کاملImmunogenicity evaluation of rBoNT/E nanovaccine after mucosal administration
Objective(s): The Botulism syndrome is caused by types A to G of botulinum neurotoxins. The binding domains of these neurotoxins are immunogenic and considered as appropriate candidate vaccines. Due to the low immunogenicity of recombinant vaccines, there have been many studies on the use of biocompatible carriers such as chitosan nanoparticles for the delivery of these vaccines. The aim of thi...
متن کاملCan mathematics explain the evolution of human language?
Investigation into the sequence structure of the genetic code by means of an informatic approach is a real success story. The features of human language are also the object of investigation within the realm of formal language theories. They focus on the common rules of a universal grammar that lies behind all languages and determine generation of syntactic structures. This universal grammar is ...
