Australian biology researchers are tackling key challenges in areas from cancer research to improved agricultural crops, but these require them to work with an ever expanding array of leading-edge digitally enabled bioinformatics research techniques. The Australian BioCommons Bring Your Own Data (BYOD) Expansion Project will integrate data-generating instruments across genomics, proteomics and metabolomics, enhance accessibility to high-priority reference data, and manage access to data stores and compute infrastructures. The platform will support web and command-line access, expand access to Galaxy Australia and improve data transfer from instruments to analytics.

  • Web-based bioinformatics workbenches
    Online access to best-practice life science tools, workflows, data and training, underpinned by compute and managed storage
  • Command line for life scientists
    Community curated life science workflows, tools, training and support across Australian command line infrastructures
  • Data infrastructure for life scientists
    Making it easier for life scientists to access, analyse, visualise and share data coming from data generating facilities, or generated by research consortia.
