| Abstract | The development of Next-Generation Sequencing, or NGS, has heightened the throughput of traditional sequencing by using RNA reads to work backward, assembling a transcriptome from expressed fragments. These methods are designed to lower the cost of DNA sequencing by analyzing vast quantities of RNA fragments but have led to computational and storage obstacles. RNA sequencing produces large files that can be in excess of 20GB, making them unwieldy to the general researcher. Vast data resources have been created to extract the information contained in these massively parallel data. These resources and their associated tools are heterogeneous and highly distributed. This requires the scientist to create and execute highly complex customized analyses that involve gathering and organizing data from heterogeneous sources while interfacing with a variety of software tools. This is often infeasible without the support of computer specialists and significant hardware upgrades. The objective of this work is to combine the strengths of the scientific workflow project, Galaxy, with traditional high performance computing resources and affordable cloud-based data storage that encourages collaboration. The specific goals are to create a Galaxy tool that executes Trinity on a remote cluster and to develop software to download, upload, and manage NGS results to and from the cloud. Trinity is a computationally expensive de novo assembler that processes large RNA files to produce a FASTA transcriptome. Our system facilitates broad-based collaboration and distribution by building around the Google Drive cloud storage solution, where the processing of RNA sequences can be both shared and analyzed with a single upload and be reused for multiple purposes. The system is also able to remotely execute Trinity and other NGS tools on traditional high performance computing infrastructure that is often available as a shared resource at universities. Specifically, we develop a Trinity-based workflow executed in a heterogeneous environment with batch HPC resources that produce the abundances' of RNA fragments to discover patterns of expression. To demonstrate our workflow system with cloud-based storage and sharing, we will analyze duplicate samples of ovarian biopsies that have been generated by 72 base, paired-end sequencing (RNAseq) performed on an Illumina Genome Analyzer IIX. Sequencing was performed utilizing a balanced block design with pooled barcoded samples from 8 fish run in each lane and duplicate lanes employed as sequencing technical replicates. As the Illumina-based RNAseq approach exhibits much higher sensitivity for low abundance transcripts and far deeper sequencing coverage than the Roche 454 pyro-sequencing originally utilized, we expect that thousands of new ovarian gene transcripts will be revealed by this approach after RNAseq reads are quality filtered, assembled de novo into contigs and compared to the existing striped bass ovarian transcriptome, and especially to the tens of thousands of singleton sequences that we obtained but have not previously verified or published. This process will yield a far more comprehensive ovarian transciptome that will represent the overwhelming majority of genes expressed in the ovary of striped bass during oocyte growth and maturation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
