Status of Mature Applications: GATE• Geant4 Application to Tomographic Emission (GATE)
OpenGate Collaboration (http://www-lphe.epfl.ch/GATE -GATE is an Environment for the Monte-Carlo Simulation of Particle Physics Emission in the Medical Field.1. Simulation of gamma-cameras and PET-scanners.2. Simulation of dosimetry on radiotherapy
treatments in oncology • The Interest of the LA Community is
Leaded by CUBAENERGÍA– It is Focused Towards Two Main Oncological
Problems: Thyroid Cancer. Treatment of Metastasis with P32.

E-infrastructure shared between Europe and Latin America
Status of Mature Applications: GATE
• Resources Available– UPV (ramses.dsic.upv.es; GATE-1.0.2-3)– CIEMAT (ce-eela.ciemat.es; GATE-2.1.0)– INFN CATANIA (grid012.ct.infn.it; GATE-1.0.0-3)– UFF (ce-eela.ic.uff.br; GATE-1.0.0-3)– UFRJ (ce01.eela.if.ufrj.br; GATE-1.0.0-3)

Santiago de Chile, 1st EELA Conference, 4-5/9/06 8FP6−2004−Infrastructures−6-SSA-026409
E-infrastructure shared between Europe and Latin AmericaStatus of Mature Applications: WISDOM
• WISDOM (Wide In-Silico Docking Of Malaria) is a Deployment of a High-Throughput Virtual Screening Platform in the Perspective of In-Silico Drug Discovery for Neglected Diseases.
• The In-Silico Docking is Faster and Much Cheaper than the Experimental Docking, Which is Restricted to the Most Successful Ligands Obtained After the Simulation Process.
• The Initial Objective of WISDOM is the Proposition of New Inhibitors for a Family of Proteins Produced by a Protozoan Parasite (Plasmodium Falciparum ) that Causes Malaria.
• However is Being Applied to Other Diseases, such as H5N1 (Avian Flu).
Santiago de Chile, 1st EELA Conference, 4-5/9/06 9FP6−2004−Infrastructures−6-SSA-026409
E-infrastructure shared between Europe and Latin AmericaStatus of Mature Applications: WISDOM
• WISDOM has been installed in the UPV and can be executed on the whole EELA Grid infrastructure. – UPV already participated as Docking Operator in the previous
data challenge on Malaria.
• An Experiment is Being Prepared Jointly by UPV and ULA.– Raul Isea will Come to the UPV on Next Week.– Initial Tests have Been Prepared.
• Next Steps will be:– Set ULA as Docking Operator and CIEMAT as
Donor of Resources in the Docking Data Challenge.
– Inclusion of New Targets in New Data Challenges.

E-infrastructure shared between Europe and Latin America
Status of New Applications: BiG
• BLAST in Grid (BiG) is a Grid-enabled BLAST Interface.
• BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) is a Bioinformatics Procedure Applied to Identify Compatible Protein and Nucleotide Sequences in Protein and DNA Databases.
• BLAST can be Applied, Among Other Uses, to Annotate the Estimated Function of Unknown Sequences.
• BLAST is Computationally Intensive.

BiG Architecture
• Users Access the Service Through a Web Portal.• Access to the EELA Grid is Performed Through the
Gate-to-Grid.• Gate-to-Grid is an EELA Grid Node Which Provides a
WSRF-Based Web Interface.

BiG Security
• Technologies – Changes on the Security Schema are Being
Implemented Instead of Storing a Portal Certificate Private Key or
Transferring User Private Keys (Even securely), a myProxy Certificate Server will be Used.
Certificates in the MyProxy Server will be Manually and Temporally Renewed (Planned Weekly) and Short-Time Certificates will be Retrieved by the UI when Required.
This model Enhances the Security and Does
not Expose Credentials, Even in Secure
Environments.

Current BiG Tests on EELA
• BiG Application has Been Installed on ULA Computers.
• Tests Have Been
Performed Successfully
on a Dataset of
Around 3000
Sequences of the
Plasmodium
Falciparum.
• Integration in the Bioinformatics Portal is Completed.

New Applications: Phylogeny• A Phylogeny is a Reconstruction of the Evolutionary History of a
Group of Organisms.• The Inference of Phylogenies with Computational Methods is Widely
Used in Medical and Biological Research and has Many Important Applications, Such as Gene Function Prediction, Drug Discovery and Conservation Biology.
• Most Approaches Depend Upon a Mathematical Model Describing the Evolution of Characters Observed in the Species Included, and are Usually Used for Molecular Phylogeny Where the Characters are Aligned Nucleotide or Amino Acid Sequences.
• Interest of the LA Community– ULA is Leading the Interest in the LA.– A Grid Service Will be Developed to
Run a Parallel Version of MrBayes
from the Bioinformatics Portal.
• Analisys of the Application has Started.
