Gateway Building for the Non-Linear Adjoint Coefficient Estimation (NLACE) project

Presenter(s): Lan Zhao (Purdue) Chris Thompson (Purdue)

Principal Investigator(s): Paul Barbone (Boston University)

Presentation Slides

Presenters will discuss work providing a solution for the NLACE (Non-Linear Adjoint Coefficient Estimation) research group to making biomechanical imaging analysis model available to the community using XSEDE resources. The research has a wide variety of medical applications including brain scanning, bone structure analysis, and cancer detection. The Barbone group created and maintains the NLACE model and needed help with science gateway development. They have an allocation on Gordon, and the ECSS team was able to help them get their model installed there and quickly create an application for utilizing it on DiaGrid, a HubZero-based gateway for hosting scientific applications

Real-Time Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) in the Classroom using Galaxy

Presenter(s): Josephine Palencia (PSC) Alex Ropelewski (PSC)

Presentation Slides

We present an interesting real-user case scenario supporting 30 Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) Bioinformatics students from three classes performing real-time next generation sequencing (NGS). We describe the system setup, the scaling preparations, the tools and the full workflow, the data and reference files and the lessons learned from the classroom experience.
