Bioinformatics analysis of data produced by complete genome sequencing projects is one of the major challenges of the current years. Integrating up-to-date databanks and relevant algorithms is a clear requirement of such analysis. Grid computing would be a viable solution to distribute data, algorithms, computing and storage resources for Genomics. Providing bioinformaticians with a good interface to grid infrastructure, such as the one provided by the EGEE European project, is also a challenge to take up. The GPS@ web portal, "Grid Protein Sequence Analysis", aims to provide such a user-friendly interface for these grid genomic resources on the EGEE grid.Bioinformatics analysis of data produced by complete genome sequencing projects is one of the major challenges of the current years.
