Slax was created by Tomáš Matějíček in the Czech Republic using the Linux Live Scripts which he also developed. The BioSLAX derivative was created by Mark De Silva, Lim Kuan Siong, and Tan Tin Wee. </p><p>BioSLAX was first released to the NUS Life Science Curriculum in April 2006. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=BioSLAX&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In January 2003, APBioNet received a research grant from the Pan Asia Networking (PAN) Programme of IDRC (Canada) to build an APBioBox of commonly used bioinformatics applications and packages with grid-computing software as part of its effort to build an APBioGrid. The platform chosen was the then ubiquitous Redhat Linux. In March of that same year, APBioNet launched an industry partnership scheme (AIPS) and partnered with Sun Microsystems to build BioBox for the Solaris platform. Six months later, beta versions of APBioBox and Sun's biobox, now named Bio-Cluster Grid were released for beta testing among selected parties. The packages included Globus Grid Toolkit Version 2.0 and Sun Grid Engine respectively.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>On 4 December 2003, the biobox software packages then named APBioBox (Redhat Linux) and BioCluster Grid (Sun Solaris) were field-tested at a Bioinformatics Workshop was conducted at the Advanced Science and Technology Institute (ASTI), Department of Science and Technology (DOST), Philippines on the occasion of the 70th Anniversary of the National Research Council of the Philippines (NRCP). Ten pentium machines and a couple of Sun servers were successfully inducted into the APBioGrid. This Workshop and the software tested were sponsored by <a href="/wiki/Sun_Microsystems" title="Sun Microsystems">Sun Microsystems</a> and partly funded by IDRC. </p><p>In July 2004, Dr. Derek Kiong introduced <a href="/wiki/Knoppix" title="Knoppix">Knoppix</a> as a stable, powerful and small Unix (Debian-based) platform to A/Prof Tan Tin Wee in a workshop organised by the Institute of Systems Science (ISS), NUS. By September 2004, through Mr. Ong Guan Sin, they were able to create a Knoppix remaster template by building software in APBioBox plus useful applications into a prototype, APBioKnoppix, as a project for the practical course of LSM2104 module of the Department of Biochemistry, NUS.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It was later upgraded based on Knoppix 4.02 and released as APBioKnoppix2.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> While APBioKnoppix was widely used, it was found that it was not easily expandable. All applications had to be in place before remastering, which made the distribution very inflexible. </p><p>In June 2005, Mr. Mark De Silva of the Bioinformatics Resource Unit of the Life Sciences Institute (LSI), suggested using Slax as a base for a new bio-based live CD due to its modular system, which effectively allowed for the same base system to be used and various tools or changes to be included on top of the base easily by adding single modules with all application files or changes. This eliminated the need to remaster the entire system every time new software or changes emerged, which was the case for Knoppix. </p><p>By April 2006, the first version of BioSLAX was released with several editions: </p> <ul><li>Standard User Edition (530 MB)</li> <li>Developer Edition (700 MB)</li> <li>Server Edition (470 MB)</li></ul> <p>BioSLAX was subsequently used in the bioinformatics teaching module within NUS under the Life Science Curriculum as well as in several events that were organized under the umbrella of the Asia Pacific Bioinformatics Network (APBioNet). APBioNet is a regional affiliate of the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB). Customized versions were built to cater for both NUS and APBioNet. </p><p>In August 2007, in collaboration with the APBioNet, a customized BioSLAX was used to set up the Bioinformatics Resource Node of Vietnam at Bio-IBT, the Bioinformatics Resource Server of the Institute of Biotechnology, Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, Hanoi, Viet Nam. The Bio-IBT node offered: </p> <ul><li>BioMirrors repository of biological databases</li> <li>NCBI <a href="/wiki/BLAST_(biotechnology)" title="BLAST (biotechnology)">BLAST</a> mirrored resource</li> <li>Web access to EBI <a href="/wiki/EMBOSS" title="EMBOSS">EMBOSS</a> applications</li> <li>Web access to <a href="/wiki/Clustal" title="Clustal">Clustal</a>W multiple sequence alignment</li> <li>Web access to the <a href="/wiki/T-Coffee" title="T-Coffee">T-Coffee</a> multiple sequence alignment</li> <li>Web access to the <a href="/wiki/PHYLIP" title="PHYLIP">PHYLIP</a> Phylogenetic Inference Package</li> <li>Web access to the Sequence Manipulation Suite, SMS2</li></ul> <p>Users with SSH access to the server also had access to many more <a href="/wiki/Command-line_interface" title="Command-line interface">command-line interface</a> based bio/life science applications. </p><p>The entire project was done in collaboration with the 1st UNESCO-IUBMB-FAOBMB-APBioNet Bioinformatics Workshop in Vietnam, held 20–31 August 2007, a satellite event of the 6th <a href="/wiki/International_Conference_on_Bioinformatics" title="International Conference on Bioinformatics">International Conference on Bioinformatics</a> (InCoB) 2007 at HongKong, Hanoi, and Nansha. </p><p>Some versions of BioSLAX deployed in international institutions under APBioNet were fitted with a small tool which allowed them to map their IPs to a dynamically created apbionet.org domain name, hence giving each machine a <a href="/wiki/Fully_qualified_domain_name" title="Fully qualified domain name">fully qualified domain name</a> (FQDN) and presence on the Internet.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

The additional functionality of deploying these modules even while the system was already running, made using Slax even more appealing. The inclusion of the <a href="/wiki/Graphical_user_interface" title="Graphical user interface">graphical user interface</a> (GUI) based "BioSLAX Module Manager", streamlined this process of dynamically adding and removing modules. </p><p>Users were able to test updates to software or new versions and "rollback" to prior versions as needed.

The biggest change is use of this version as either client or server. The distribution was also moved from CD to DVD, allowing for more applications to be introduced, which were formerly left out of version 5.x to save space. The ability to boot from a <a href="/wiki/File_Allocation_Table" title="File Allocation Table">File Allocation Table</a> (FAT) or <a href="/wiki/Extended_file_system" title="Extended file system">extended file system</a> (EXT) formatted USB drive was also introduced in Slax 6, hence BioSLAX 7.x versions also had this feature, effectively enabling persistent file handling which are unavailable on the CD/DVD as they are not (re-)writable. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="BioSLAX_8">BioSLAX 8</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=BioSLAX&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: BioSLAX 8"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Versions of BioSLAX after 7.x have been delayed due to the base distribution's (Slax) developer, Tomáš Matějíček, refusing to move forward with a new version because of family commitments. However, his main reason for not moving forward was that he was waiting for <a href="/wiki/Squash_FS" class="mw-redirect" title="Squash FS">Squash FS</a> and <a href="/wiki/LZMA" class="mw-redirect" title="LZMA">LZMA</a> to be integrated into the Linux kernel by default, instead of users needing to apply separate patches. As of kernel 2.6.38, the integration was finally done, prompting Matějíček to look at a new version of Slax, which will therefore result in a new version of BioSLAX in coming months. One can follow his thoughts on the new version of Slax on his blog.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Dates_and_numbers#Chronological_items" title="Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers"><span title="Does this still hold after so many years?

The backend controls and automation were created and implemented using the various APIs for vSphere and Xen by Mr. Mark De Silva. </p><p>Developers were also in talks with Amazon from 2009 to 2010 to deploy similar BioSLAX cloud images on <a href="/wiki/Amazon_EC2" class="mw-redirect" title="Amazon EC2">Amazon EC2</a>, hoping to move some of their research and education machines over to Amazon, to cut costs on hardware. Discussions, however, fell through when it was clear that Amazon would not support full hardware virtualization which was needed to run BioSLAX images on the cloud. Supporting only para-virtualizaion is the stand of most commercial cloud providers using Citrix Xen hypervisors. Until the mind-set of these entities change, private clouds running Citrix Xen hypervisors configured for full hardware virtualization or VMWare vSphere clouds will be the only clouds able to run BioSLAX. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="See_also">See also</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a
