BRAEMBL
The Australian Bioinformatics Resource is a distributed national research infrastructure providing bioinformatics support to life science researchers in Australia. The Resource was set up as a collaboration with the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) to maximise Australia’s bioinformatics capability. This close partnership is made possible in the context of Australia’s associate membership of EMBL.
EMBL ABR aims to:
- Increase Australia’s capacity to collect, integrate, analyse, exploit, share and archive the large heterogeneous data sets now part of modern life sciences research
- 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
- Showcase Australian research and datasets at an international level
- 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
EMBL ABR is supported by Bioplatforms Australia and the University of Melbourne. EMBL ABR Hub is hosted at the Victorian Life Sciences Computation Initiative (VLSCI) at the University of Melbourne
