Telescope: an interactive tool for managing large-scale analysis from mobile devices.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In today's world of big data, computational analysis has become a key driver of biomedical research. High-performance computational facilities are capable of processing considerable volumes of data, yet often lack an easy-to-use interface to guide the user in supervising and adjusting bioinformatics analysis via a tablet or smartphone.

Results

To address this gap we proposed Telescope, a novel tool that interfaces with high-performance computational clusters to deliver an intuitive user interface for controlling and monitoring bioinformatics analyses in real-time. By leveraging last generation technology now ubiquitous to most researchers (such as smartphones), Telescope delivers a friendly user experience and manages conectivity and encryption under the hood.
