Abstract

The evolving challenges in lifesciences research cannot be all addressed by off-the-shelf bioinformatics applications. Life scientists need to analyze their data using novel or context-sensitive approaches that might be published in recent journals and publications, or based on their own hypotheses and assumptions. The genomics Research Network Architecture (gRNA) is a highly programmable, modular environment specially designed to invigorate the development of genomics-centric tools for life sciences-research. The gRNA provides the development environment in which new applications can be quickly written, and the deployment environment in which they can systematically avail of computing resources and integrate information from distributed biological data sources.
