| Abstract | Background: The development of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology provides great opportunities to study gene expression, gene spliced transcripts, post-transcriptional changes, and gene fusion mutations/SNPs. The large amount of data being generated from these approaches presents many challenges. For example, how can we manage and analyze these vast datasets in order to extract new knowledge. Aims: This paper provides an integrated, adaptable, and scalable scenario to guide researchers through a complex, data analysis process using the iPlant Collaborative AGAVE RESTful API through the BioExtract Server. In 3 modules, we show how a High Performance Cluster (HPC) can be leveraged in a Workflow Management System (WMS) by following simple analytic steps. Results: A workflow has been developed in the BioExtract Server to analyze RNA-Seq data. The running of this workflow on a 21.6GB dataset provides reliable gene and transcript expression results. The BioExtract Server's results compared to an existing manual workflow on the same dataset shows ≈800% improvement in execution time (from ≈18h to ≈2h10min). Additionally, there are several qualitative improvements such as; automation, reproducibility, sharability, and scalability. (Note: the performance was not compared to the workflow installed at Galaxy, https://usegalaxy.org/, due to extensive wait times on their public site.) Our workflow execution provides analysis results from input datasets and reveals a 0.05 fold discovery rate (FDR) showing that 342 genes, 228 isoforms, 270 TSS, 47 CDS and 23 promoters are significantly differentially expressed. Conclusion: Having the ability to easily create and execute workflows leveraging the robust iPlant cyberinfrastructure to analyze NGS data represents one more steps in eScience initiative improvement. It improves, considerably, the ability of life science researchers to apply NGS tools. However, enhancements to this approach remains important as everyday improvements in HPC and WMS technology, techniques, and software continues. Our coming challenge will consist to follow that evolution in order to minimize the gap between researchers and these powerful resources. Availability: Tools used here are freely available on referenced link. Additional data analysis from our workflow execution is available on demand.

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.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
