7. Systems Biology and myGrid SysMO-SEEK e-Laboratory for interlinking and sharing data, models, SOPS and workflows for Systems Biology in Europe ISA-TAB & SBML/MIRIAM compliant ONDEX Network based analysis environment for Systems Biology Uses Taverna workflows and text mining http://www.ondex.org/ http://www.sysmo-db.org/

8. myGrid Taverna provides another strong environment for the analysis of Sage data and linking data with external analytics and data resources, including text mining with publications SysMO-SEEK, myExperiment and BioCatalogue are community collaboration resources for sharing Sage methods, models and data ONDEX is a potentially powerful network analysis tool for Sage Bionetworks

9. Performing Taverna KDA and Pathways pipeline A demonstration Taverna Pipeline (workflow) Calculate a differentially expressed genes in a TCGA dataset Perform KDA using a Sage breast cancer network model and the gene list from the differentially expressed genes Reformats the KDA output for Cytoscape Launches Cytoscape to visualize the results Extracts gene names from TCGA dataset Finds pathways for these genes in KEGG using workflow deposited in myExperiment.
