Taverna is used by various projects and researchers for investigations into systems biology:

  • ENFIN – Enabling Systems Biology – calling of wrapped tools within workflows
  • Manchester Centre for Integrative Systems Biology (MCISB) – modelling metabolomic pathways
  • Systems Biology Operational Software (SB.OS) – a live DVD based on Ubuntu Linux that comes with a comprehensive list of Systems Biology Software (including Taverna)
  • MetWare - applications, databases and workflows for metabolomics
  • Tav4SB - Taverna workflows for systems biology, in particular for analysis of the kinetic models of biological systems
  • CCPN - Taverna is used to encapsulate and combine protocols between WeNMR (Worldwide e-Infrastructure for NMR and structural biology) portals and CCPN's (Collaborative Computing Project for NMR) software.

##MetWare

The MetWare project provides applications, databases and workflows for metabolomics. The MetWare project is a collaboration between several metabolomics groups in the Netherlands and Germany.

The work involving Taverna workflows is done by Steffen Neumanns group (Bioinformatics & Mass Spectrometry).

They developed a Web-based player of Taverna workflows and also have uploaded their workflows on myExperiment at http://www.myexperiment.org/users/937/workflows.
