Abstract

In this paper, an integrated system called OBIEnv, which has been developed on OBIGrid, is described. In addition to automatic database transfer and deployment, it provides various functionalities for transparent and fault-tolerant processing of bioinformatics tasks on Grid. A feasibility study on the analysis of horizontal gene transfer was done using 119 heterogeneous Linux nodes in 5 different sites, and OBIEnv proved its applicability to practical problems in bioinformatics.
