The EMBL Australia Bioinformatics Resource is hosted at Melbourne Bioinformatics through a funding agreement between the University of Melbourne and Bioplatforms Australia.
EMBL-ABR aims to:
EMBL-ABR is structured as a hub/nodes model, with the Hub located at Melbourne Bioinformatics, University of Melbourne. EMBL-ABR is also currently exploring engagement with the European infrastructure for biological information, ELIXIR, and other relevant international efforts such as CyVerse and BD2K.
EMBL-ABR is a truly national resource. There are now twelve Nodes which are organised around six Key Areas: Data, Tools, Compute, Standards, Training and Platforms, mapped to their respective expertise in terms of biosciences domains. The Nodes are hosted at institutions across Australia. EMBL-ABR Director Andrew Lonie is also Director, Melbourne Bioinformatics.

As our Genomics Virtual Laboratory expert, Simon Gladman was invited by colleagues in the UK and EU to spend time over summer on some key bioinformatics problems and to share some Australian know-how. He has already covered a lot of territory. Here he gives the first of several updates to come: 17-19 May Applied Bioinformatics […]
After arriving back at Melbourne Bioinformatics after 8 weeks of delivering training across Europe, here’s a list of my highlights of training and collaborating. Blog 1 Blog 2: Elixir, CLIMB, Sanger and the Galaxy Community Conference Collaborations with Elixir, Elixir Hub – Hinxton – 5-9th June and then elsewhere I spent a few days hanging out […]
Life science research is and will increasingly be shaped by infrastructure that supports it. At the beginning of Big Data biology, this meant funding sequencers and computers and while we still need those, we also need to become smarter. Increases in our ability to solve the big problems in biology have come as much from […]
Dear Colleagues The past twelve months have seen the transformation of this bioinformatics initiative into a structured, networked enterprise. We have demonstrated a working model for maximising the resources and skills existing amongst our own life science community and for mobilising them to connect with international expertise and resources, to ensure our research remains world […]
