综合生物学虚拟研究所(VIIB)是拉丁美洲在生物信息学、基因组生物学、系统生物学、宏基因组学、医学应用和纳米生物技术领域实现全球电子科学合作的一项倡议。VIIB的科学议程包括：为比较基因组学建立数据库，为基因组中的替代开放阅读框架发现建立AlterORF数据库，为生物技术和医学应用提供生物信息学服务和蛋白质模拟。通过共同赞助学生、通过视频会议分享教学和研讨会，促进了人力资源开发。E-Science的挑战包括：互操作性和连通性问题、高性能计算限制、开发定制的计算框架和灵活的工作流，以有效利用共享资源而不对用户造成障碍。外联方案包括为高中教师和学生举办培训讲习班和课程，以及新的采用基因倡议。事实证明，VIIB是小型团队超越临界质量问题、克服地理限制、利用大规模协作科学的力量和提高拉丁美洲科学知名度的有效途径，它可能为在拉丁美洲和其他新兴区域进一步发展电子科学举措提供一个有用的范例。

英文摘要：
The Virtual Institute for Integrative Biology (VIIB) is a Latin American initiative for achieving global collaborative e-Science in the areas of bioinformatics, genome biology, systems biology, metagenomics, medical applications and nanobiotechnolgy. The scientific agenda of VIIB includes: construction of databases for comparative genomics, the AlterORF database for alternate open reading frames discovery in genomes, bioinformatics services and protein simulations for biotechnological and medical applications. Human resource development has been promoted through co-sponsored students and shared teaching and seminars via video conferencing. E-Science challenges include: interoperability and connectivity concerns, high performance computing limitations, and the development of customized computational frameworks and flexible workflows to efficiently exploit shared resources without causing impediments to the user. Outreach programs include training workshops and classes for high school teachers and students and the new Adopt-a-Gene initiative. The VIIB has proved an effective way for small teams to transcend the critical mass problem, to overcome geographic limitations, to harness the power of large scale, collaborative science and improve the visibility of Latin American science It may provide a useful paradigm for developing further e-Science initiatives in Latin America and other emerging regions.
