Abstract

Proteomics is currently one of the most promising fields in bioinformatics as it provides important insights into the protein function of organisms. Mass spectrometry is one of the techniques to study the proteome, and several software tools exist for this purpose. The authors provide an extendable software platform called swissPIT that combines different existing tools and exploits Grid infrastructures to speed up the data analysis process for the proteomics pipeline.

Key Terms in this Chapter

Mass Spectrometry: In the field of proteomics, mass spectrometry is a technique to analyze, identify and characterize proteins. In particular, it measures the mass-to-charge ratio.

Grid Workflow: In general, a workflow can be considered as the automation of a specific process which can further be divided into smaller tasks. A Grid workflow consists of several tasks that need to be executed in a Grid environment but not necessarily on the same computing hardware.

High Performance Computing (HPC): HPC is a particular field in computer science that deals with performance optimization of single applications, usually by running parallel instances on high performance computing clusters or supercomputers.

Proteomics: The large-scale study of proteins, their functions and their structures. It is supposed to complement physical genome research. It can also be defined as the qualitative and quantitative comparison of proteomes under different conditions to further unravel biological processes (http://www.expasy.ch/proteomics_def.html).

High Throughput Computing: In contrast to HPC, high throughput computing does not aim to optimize a single application but several users and applications. In this way, many applications share a computing infrastructure at the same time – in this way the overall throughput of several applications is supposed to be maximized.

Bioinformatics: Comprises the management and the analysis of biological databases.

Grid Job Submission and Execution: Workflows are typically expressed in certain languages and then have to be executed. Often, the entire workflow is called a “job” which needs to be submitted to the Grid and executed on Grid computing resources.
