The Taverna team are currently involved or collaborating on several projects sponsoring the development of new tools and the improvement of Taverna:
- BioVel – establishing an international e-Laboratory to allow biodiversity scientists to jointly tackle diverse research challenges using Taverna, myExperiment and BioCatalogue
- Wf4Ever – providing methods and tools required to ensure the long-term preservation of scientific workflows
- SCAPE – large scale and computation intense automated digital preservation and quality assurance workflows on a cloud infrastructure
- TSB grant – to address NHS requirements for accessing and comparing large amounts of information and find common genetic links when testing new treatments (in partnership with Eagle Genomics)
- Taverna-Galaxy – a tool for automatic generation and exposure of Taverna workflows as Galaxy tools. Galaxy is an open, web-based platform for data intensive biomedical research
- e-LICO – a virtual laboratory for interdisciplinary collaborative workflows in data mining and data-intensive sciences
- NeISS – Taverna workflows for social (population and traffic) simulations in portals
We are also involved in various projects set out to solve particular e-Science problems using Taverna:
- ChemTaverna – workflows for chemoinformatics
- ONDEX – integration of biological data
- Shared Genomics – the use of the Taverna Server to run genetic data workflows
- REFINE – text mining and visualisation
- HELIO – services and workflows for HelioPhysics
An outreach project designed to expose scientists to the possible uses of e-Science and to aid them in adopting the available tools and techniques:
- ENGAGE – JISC initiative for exploiting the benefits of e-Infrastructure by developing and deploying new software solutions on available UK e-Infrastructure; funded a development project to facilitate the use of Taverna for Shared Genomics
There are also a large number of Taverna-related projects that the team have been involved with in the past:
- caGrid project – support for running cancer-research workflows
- e-Fungi – Web services for comparative genomics
- ISpider – proteomics workflows
- MIASGrid – medical imaging
