Workflow based framework for life science informatics-Citations

Top 3 hottest article in CBAC

Abstract

Workflow technology is a generic mechanism to integrate diverse types of available resources (databases, servers, software applications and different services) which facilitate knowledge exchange within traditionally divergent fields such as molecular biology, clinical research, computational science, physics, chemistry and statistics. Researchers can easily incorporate and access diverse, distributed tools and data to develop their own research protocols for scientific analysis. Application of workflow technology has been reported in areas like drug discovery, genomics, large-scale gene expression analysis, proteomics, and system biology. In this article, we have discussed the existing workflow systems and the trends in applications of workflow based systems.

Omohide poro poro (Only Yesterday)

Recently I watched the Omohide poro poro (Only Yesterday), a Japanese animation movie, which impressed me a lot. I rarely write for movies, but this movie has some thing which we are facing these days-identity crisis and search for real happiness in life especially in big cities. Taeko Okajima is a typical “office lady” in a big company in Tokyo. When she takes a sabbatical to the countryside in Yamagata Prefecture, the hometown of her brother-in-law, the journey recalled her memory of her 5th grade year . In between, flashbacks to childhood are small events that stuck, chills you and sometimes fills you with warmth. It suggests at the same time that though there might be events that made her what she is, she also always was who she is, and it’s the interplay between who you are and what you encounter that shape your life. You might say “it might have gone a different way”, but then again it didn’t exactly because you are you. During her stay in Yamagata, she works hard and happily as a farmer and is surrounded by friendly relatives and villagers, bringing up more memories. Their hospitality makes her to reconsider her choice of life. I liked ending theme song very much (Ai wa Hana, Kimi wa Sono Tane ; The Rose song: Love Is a Flower, You Are the Seed) by Harumi Miyako. The Rose, recorded by Bette Midler was selected for ‘The 100 Years of the Greatest Songs’ list.

Some say love, it is a river
that drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed.

Some say love, it is a hunger,
an endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower,
and you it’s only seed.

It’s the heart, afraid of breaking,
that never learns to dance.
It’s the dream, afraid of waking,
that never takes a chance.

It’s the one who won’t be taken,
who cannot seem to give.
And the soul, afraid of dying,
that never learns to live.

When the night has been too lonely,
and the road has been too long,
And you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong,

Just remember in the winter
far beneath the bitter snow,
Lies a seed, that with the sun’s love,
in the spring becomes a rose
