RESUMO
The integration of genomics and patient related data is considered as one of the most promising investigation topic in health care research. Started in 2004, the Grid for Geno Medicine (GGM) project aims at providing a comprehensive grid software infrastructure designed to allow biologists to mine and analyze relationships between medical, genetic, and genomic data stored in distributed datawarehouses. The proposed layered service oriented architecture offers a number of independent but compliant services that can be deployed in a grid environment. This paper presents these services insisting on their integration into a common software platform, the use case that is carried out. It also presents the current state of the developments and of the performance evaluations.

Microarray experiments aim at analyzing expression levels of genes using DNA probes. The amount of data managed for each experiment is very large. It is thus essential to provide electronic support for the capture and the management of information describing microarray experiments. We present here the SITRANS Web information system, the aim of which is to help research workers storing, browsing, sharing and publishing data.
