Building a trusted ecosystem to accelerate research: the Australian Cardiovascular disease Data Commons
A new paper describing the progress and vision of the Australian Cardiovascular disease Data Commons (ACDC) project has been published in Nature Reviews Cardiology. This national-scale project is designed to accelerate the fight against Australia’s single biggest killer through creating a comprehensive, secure, scalable and internationally integrated data infrastructure.
Taking Nextflow to the next level: HPC Workshop applications now open
A new workshop will build practical skills to configure, optimise, and troubleshoot Nextflow pipelines for efficient and scalable execution on High Performance Computing (HPC) systems. It builds on the success of a recent national in-person training event attended by 90 life science researchers.
Leading sessions and launching tools in a packed schedule of upcoming events
The BioCommons team is leveraging the opportunity to share, learn and collaborate across a multitude of events. Browse our upcoming activities so we can meet up to talk ‘research infrastructure’.
From cancer genomics to evolutionary biology: how ABLeS is powering Australian research
A recent series of publications across the life sciences highlight how the Australian BioCommons Leadership Share (ABLeS) program is accelerating research across the country through streamlined access to national supercomputing resources.
Cancer researchers level up their high performance computing
Researchers investigating cancer evolution and treatment resistance have successfully leveraged ABLeS to expand their high-performance computing (HPC) capabilities. The Trigos Lab received the support they needed to formally integrate external HPC resources into their research workflows at Peter Mac.
DAWN of a new era for international wheat research
The Diversity Among Wheat geNomes (DAWN) resource supports the exploration of the genetics of wheat strains. Now researchers seeking insights into genetic diversity have the capability to visualise and collaboratively annotate wheat genomes.
