BioCommons Access
BioCommons Access is your key to the analysis services and research data in the Australian BioCommons ecosystem. It is designed to remove the friction of researchers having to manage multiple accounts and manually jumping between different platforms to run increasingly complex workflows.
BioCommons Access enables:
Single sign-on to multiple analysis and data services
Service bundles offering curated collections of relevant analysis tools and data
Data transfer between services
A central management portal where you can update your user details and access services
Galaxy Australia and the BioPlatforms Data Portal will be the first two services to utilise the BioCommons Access service, with additional services to follow.
Introducing service bundles
BioCommons Access will include a new feature - service bundles. Researchers are increasingly using embargoed and sensitive data and specialised analytics resources across multiple services. In the past, researchers had to assemble these resources themselves.
Service bundles make it easy for researchers to access sets of resources in one step, such as open and/or embargoed data, analysis tools and pipelines/workflows, and the ability to easily move data between both.
At launch, the first Service bundle will be the Threatened Species Initiative (TSI) bundle, allowing approved members:
Access to embargoed TSI data from the Bioplatforms Australia Data Portal
The ability to easily transfer data from the Bioplatforms Australia Data Portal to Galaxy Australia
Full access to the Galaxy Australia service
The ability to run large genome assemblies and genome annotation via Fgenesh++ pipelines on Galaxy Australia
New bundles will become available as…
