Scalability?
EMBL Australia Bioinformatics Resource (BRAEMBL)
Mission:
1. Ensure we have access to the tools and data we need to be globally competitive
2. Showcase Australian life science research
3. Advise, support and train
BRAEMBL EMBL-ABR• started in its current
form in Feb 2016
• hub hosted at VLSCI, University of Melbourne
• 10 nodes at the institution/organisation level across Australia
• NCRIS funding via Bioplatforms Australia, matched by University of Melbourne
• 2011-2014
• based in Brisbane
• NCRIS funding via Bioplatforms Australia; UQ, Qld State Govt
Why do we need EMBL-ABR?
• Tools, platforms and methods• Best-practice development • Long-term maintenance• Discoverability• Adopting tools/platforms that already exist elsewhere
• Data• Data management for complex biological datasets• FAIR data and resources• Australian data, flagship projects
• Training• Scalability and accessibility• Global perspective
• Standards • Direct participation in international consortia• Ensuring AU needs are considered
• Compute Resources• Making the most of existing “hard” infrastructure
Key Areas
EMBL-ABR is the vehicle for the Australian Bioinformatics community to actively participate in world’s best practice bioinformatics, positioning our institutions at the forefront with international
partners. Cyverse, ELIXIR, BD2K.
National bioinformatics infrastructure?
• fosters excellence in data science to support progress in biological research and health
• bioinformatics infrastructure
• resources• expertise• services
• federating world-class researchers
• delivering training in bioinformatics
• provides first-class services to users in life sciences research, industry and medicine
• coordinates bioinformatics training and education
• coordinates cooperation of the German bioinformatics community with international bioinformatics network structures
European Life Sciences Infrastructure for Biological Information
A rapidly evolving international context
EMBL Australian Bioinformatics Resource (EMBL-ABR) is a distributed national
research infrastructure providing bioinformatics support to life science
researchers in Australia.
EMBL-ABR aims to:
1. increase Australia’s capacity to collect, integrate, analyse, exploit, share and archive the large heterogeneous data sets now part of modern life sciences research.
2. contribute to the development of and provide training in data, tools and platforms to enable Australia’s life science researchers to undertake research in the age of big data.
3. showcase Australian research and datasets at an international level.
4. enable engagement in international programs that create, deploy and develop best practice approaches to data management, software tools and methods, computational platforms and bioinformatics services.
1. Ensure Australia has access to
the tools and data we need to
