3 years EU-funded design study
Goal: design the organisational &
collaborative structures, ethical
framework, and molecular genetic &
informatics technologies necessary for a
new research infrastructure which will
accelerate an integrated European
approach to gene expression in early
human development

Three major goals
1. Facilitate collaboration over
multiple laboratories
2. Improve ways for handling spatialtemporal data from gene
expression studies
3. Provide integration with other
technologies and databases to
help biologists advance their
studies

Where do workflows fit in?
• Advanced queries incorporating other DBs
– Linking genes with diseases (OMIM)
– Genetic pathways (Kegg)
• Mouse-human interoperability
– Using anatomical terms
– Using direct 3D to 3D model mapping
– Using spatial-temporal ontologies
• Data mining and processes
– Hierarchical Clustering
– Association rules

What are association rules?
•
•
•
•
•
Based on a set of transactions
We want to derive rules of the form X => Y
Meaning, if X happens then Y happens
X and
X and Y are sets of items appearing in the
transactions
• The rules come with numbers to express their
quality with respect to the set of transactions
(most common: support and confidence)
Jano van Hemert

Association Rules
• In the context of gene expression:
if Gene1 and Gene2 then Gene3
where a transaction equals a set of
genes expressing together at the
same time in the same anatomical
component
• Alternative: if Component1 then
Component2 and Component3
where a transaction equals a
number of components expressing
the same gene at the same time

Association Rules Results
Transaction: genes
expressing in the same
anatomical component in
the same Theiler stage
Wnt1, Bmp4 => Shh
Vcam1 => Kdr
Emx2 => Otx2
Otx1, Pax6 => Otx2

Main issues while using Taverna
•
•
•
•
•
•
Need for more data mangling functions
Need for more data formatting controls
Pipelining and memory concerns
Library of useful translations services
Interaction Plug-in Architecture…?
What about Axis version 2?
