Experiences with GeneRecon on MiG www.elsevier.com/locate/fgcs

We report on our experiences so far with running a bioinformatics simulation study on a newly developed Grid architecture. We briefly describe the bioinformatics application – an association mapping algorithm for both locating disease loci and separating cases into those diseased due to genetic factors and those diseased solely due to environment factors – and describe the Grid architecture and how the application is set up to run on the Grid. c ○ 2006 Elsevier B.V.
