Re: TeraGrid as a cost-effective replacement for local clusters

Hi Don

I have been working with Ivan Judson on developing the Life Sciences  
Gateway for handling some of these issues, particularly blast and  
interproscan.

Ivan has developed a web interface, and I have developed a set of  
perl modules for handling interfacing with the gateway.
