[Bioclusters] Bioinformatics workflow?

If you're gettting the Apple cluster for Bioinformatics with the
iNquiry software installed then they already have a tutorial on
integrating it with Taverna:

Most people involved in bioinformatics research use Taverna here, but
thats hardly surprising as it was work done in collaboration with the
Bioinformatics group here.
