Read MoreThe computational infrastructure needed to run data analysis training is now readily available at no cost to Australian educators and researchers. Galaxy Australia has a simple offer: you provide the training, we provide the infrastructure and support. Their "Training Infrastructure as a Service”, or TIaaS, makes training simpler to organise and run.
Read MoreWe are proud to support the Australian Pest Genome Partnership through which we, along with partners CSIRO and ARDC, work towards making genomic data more easily accessible and usable to support industry, government and the scientific community in managing pests. This project will ultimately share the genomic data that will underpin species-specific management of pests & weeds in the future. Interactive browsing and collaborative curation of the assembled and annotated genomes will be available via the Australian Apollo Service.
