Bonjour,
Le réseau régional d’ingénieurs en bioinformatique de Lille, le PPF
bioinformatique et le PPF calcul scientifique intensif vous convient à une
conférence jeudi 23 Mai 2013, à 15h30, Amphithéâtre de l'Institut de
Biologie de Lille, 1, rue du Pr Calmette, LILLE.
Ce séminaire sera donné en français et suivi d'un tutoriel le 24 mai de
9h00 à 12h00, salle de formation du CRI, Bat M4, Université Lille1.
Inscription obligatoire pour le TP (limité à 20 participants).

IDB-cloud : Providing Bioinformatics Services on Cloud
Christophe Blanchet
Infrastructure Distribuée pour la Biologie – CNRS-IBCP FR3302 – Lyon
Recent improvements in biological experimental technologies force
scientists to face a deluge of data that require relevant tools and
sufficient computer resources for their analysis. Then scientists need
large scale infrastructure, but they also often combine many bioinformatics
tools from the arsenal of thousands available from the international
community. Common interfaces are standard portals and web services for the
ease of use, but also the command line to run scripts or their own
software. All these analyses rely most of times on reference public
databases that need to be easily available (NFS) and updated. Such multiple
requirements can be very difficult to satisfied in public infrastructures
(clusters, portals) available to a whole scientific community such as in
Biology. To solve these difficulties, we have deployed a cloud
infrastructure, devoted to Biology, that ease the on-demand deployement of
bioinformatics infrastructures. We developed several bioinformatics
appliances ready to run on a standard cloud infrastructure. For example one
of these appliances provides scientists with their own dedicated Galaxy
portal with common NGS tools. Several other virtual appliances are also
available and provide scientists with a large range of biological tools.
For example the Proteomics appliance with OMSSA and X!Tandem tools, or the
BioMapReduce appliance with the standard Hadoop MapReduce framework coupled
to common bioinformatics tools. All these virtual machines are connected to
updated public databases such as Uniprot, EMBL, Prosite ; or to different
genomes and indexes such as HG19. The IDB-cloud is available to the
academic community to run their own analysis, on a registration basis and
standard use. The use for different purposes will help to identify the
different requirements from the Bioinformatics community, and also to
evaluate such cloud infrastructure in the context of the Institut Français
de Bioinformatique that is planning to deploy a cloud core facility for the
French community.
