From: Pegasys: software for executing and integrating analyses of biological sequences
Diagram showing the client/server model and layering of the Pegasys architecture. Arrows between the layers indicate a transfer of data. The workflow created by manipulating the GUI in the client is sent as a Pegasys DAG XML file to the server. The application layer then processes the XML file, and sends jobs to the job scheduling layer. The analyses are then executed and the results are stored in the database. The adaptor layer takes results stored in the PegasysResultSet data structure in memory in the application layer and can create output in GFF or GAME XML format. This file is then returned to the GUI where it can be digested by the user or input into a visualization tool.
