Those workflows often include applications that have very different user interfaces and sometimes use different data formats. A good example is the brain perfusion quantification workflow used at the BRIC (Brain Research Imaging Centre) in Edinburgh. Rapid provides an easy method for creating portlets for computational jobs, and at the same it is extensible. We have exploited this extensibility with additions that stretch the functionality beyond the original limits. These changes can be used by other projects to create their own portals, but it should be noted that the development of such portals involve a greater effort than the required in the regular use of Rapid for creating portlets. In our case it has been used to provide a user-friendly interface for perfusion analysis that covers from volume JF - All Hands Meeting 2011, York CY - York ER - TY - CONF T1 - TOPP goes Rapid T2 - Cluster Computing and the Grid, IEEE International Symposium on Y1 - 2010 A1 - Gesing, Sandra A1 - van Hemert, Jano A1 - Jos Koetsier A1 - Bertsch, Andreas A1 - Kohlbacher, Oliver AB - Proteomics, the study of all the proteins contained in a particular sample, e.g., a cell, is a key technology in current biomedical research. The complexity and volume of proteomics data sets produced by mass spectrometric methods clearly suggests the use of grid-based high-performance computing for analysis. TOPP and OpenMS are open-source packages for proteomics data analysis; however, they do not provide support for Grid computing. In this work we present a portal interface for high-throughput data analysis with TOPP. The portal is based on Rapid, a tool for efficiently generating standardized portlets for a wide range of applications. The web-based interface allows the creation and editing of user-defined pipelines and their execution and monitoring on a Grid infrastructure. The portal also supports several file transfer protocols for data staging. It thus provides a simple and complete solution to high-throughput proteomics data analysis for inexperienced users through a convenient portal interface.
