13:35 Data Standards for High-Throughput RNA Interference 
      Experiments 
      - Dr. Javier Santoyo-Lopez (DPM) 
----------------------------------------------------------


RNAi - allows you to suppress a gene in experiments
     - no longer need transgenic animals

potentially can have plants that will suppress genes in 
pest insects and stop them proliferating

 28 worldwide centres are part of the RNA Global consortium

Consortium Informatics group make software tools to allow
compare, share data.

MIAME minimum information for microarray experiments took
10yrs to establish

New standards try to reuse/learn from previous experiments

MIBBI - for biological and biomedical investigations

FUGE
- is it a square peg/round hole solution


1415 Rapid Development Tool for Job Submission Portlets 
     - Dr. Jano van Hemert (NeSC) 
-------------------------------------------------------

OMII - funds the staff on this project, Jano funded by 
 edikt2

What NeSC does.
 
Showed various portals that do not have easy solutions for
non-expert users.  Says nano-CMOS is good but took 10 months
to build.

Using Gridsphere/GridSAM 

1 XML file to build a portal

demo 

FindBugs - finds bugs in Java software 


1530 The EaStCHEM Grid: First Iteration 
     - Dr. Andrew Turner (School of Chemistry) 
----------------------------------------------

- want to work both with pre-WS and WS GT

- people want to be able to look at the job output
  while it is running.  This abilkity is not well-served 
  by grid technology.

- uses RSL and Perl

 - certificate issues with users

 - how much usage
  . 1 grid user


1615 Discussions and Wrap-up
