Suppose a virologist at CDC is confronting a suspicious new virus - urgent questions spring to mind. Is it natural or engineered? How is it molecularly related to other known infectious agents? Does that relationship present opportunities for intervention?

The services grid springs into action. First, a sequencing center with cutting edge viral RNA chips analyzes the new virus’s genome and publishes it to the grid. Based on that data, a knowledge service associated with the leading gene expression database concludes that it is indeed a new bug. Other knowledge services look for close relatives to the new bug based on its phylogenetic class (evolutionary neighbors) and 3D molecular structure.
