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.
