High performance web-based genetic analyses for the biosciences

In order to maintain and integrate GridQTL with other resources we are requesting two full-time posts, one to be based at NeSC and the other at IEB. The principal tasks for these posts are outlined under the management structure. GridQTL, our existing project upon which GridQTL+ is based, is a collaborative project across three sites. The different expertise from each of these groups has been essential to the development of GridQTL and we wish to continue with this successful arrangement. Travel to major conferences is essential in order to illustrate our work to potential users and to interact with others developing web and Grid based tools. To test GridQTL+ and to enable us to offer a guaranteed baseline service we are requesting funds to run on the Edinburgh Compute and Data Facility.
