[diyg-dev-l] ISGA GMOD Membership Nomination

[Dave C. G. H. D. <he...@gm...>]

Hello all,

I would like to nominate ISGA for membership in GMOD.  ISGA is a
bioinformatics pipeline service based on the Ergatis workflow system. ISGA
comes with prokaryotic annotation and assembly pipelines and offers an
intuitive interface for biologists to run and customize pipelines. ISGA also
integrates tools such as GBrowse and BLAST for visualizing and analyzing
pipeline results. Since ISGA utilizes Ergatis, ISGA pipelines can be
submitted back to the Ergatis community and Ergatis pipelines can be adapted
to use ISGA.

ISGA (pronounced "I-S-G-A") was created at Indiana University's Center for
Genomics and Bioinformatics (CGB) by Chris Hemmerich, Aaron Buechlein, Ram
Podicheti, Kashi Revanna, and Qunfeng Dong. CGB also hosts a public
installation of ISGA (see Links below).

I believe that ISGA meets all of GMOD's membership requirements (see
http://gmod.org/wiki/GMOD_Membership#Requirements).  The CGB is willing to
support ISGA for at least 2 years.

ISGA could be useful to anyone working with complex pipelines and is
directly applicable to existing and potential Ergatis users.  This
nomination is going to the Ergatis and DIYA lists, and to the developers of
other GMOD components related to computational pipelines.  If you have any
feedback or comments on ISGA becoming a part of GMOD, please respond on list
or send mail directly to the help desk, by the end of August 6.

Thanks,

Dave C
