Australian Apollo Service
The Apollo software package is web-browser accessible system that lets you conduct real-time collaborative curation and editing of genome annotations (see Dunn et al. 2019, PLoS Comput Biol 15(2): e1006790)
The Australian BioCommons and our partners at QCIF and Pawsey provide an Apollo Service where your genome assembly and supporting evidence files can be hosted, and all the set-up and computer systems administrative and management tasks are taken care of, so you and your team can focus on the annotation curation itself.
It’s free to use for Australian-based research groups and research consortia
Hosts data from a growing list of species
Is resourced to support genomes of any size
Has online documentation describing how to get started to upload data to the service and how to use Apollo generally

Australian BioCommons delivers collaborative distributed infrastructure to enable life science research. The BioCommons partner QCIF is offering the Apollo Portal service, and it is underpinned by computational resources provided by the Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre. These efforts are supported by funding from Bioplatforms Australia (BPA) and Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC). BPA and ARDC are enabled by NCRIS.
