A rapidly evolving international context
EMBL Australian Bioinformatics Resource (EMBL-ABR) is a distributed national research infrastructure providing bioinformatics support to life science researchers in Australia.
About
2. Contribute to the development and provision of training in data, tools and platforms to enable Australia’s life science researchers to undertake research in the age of big data.
3. Showcase Australian research and datasets at an international level.
4. Enable engagement in international programs that create, deploy and develop best practice approaches to data management, software tools and methods, computational platforms and bioinformatics services.
Mission
EMBL ABR aims to:
1. Increase Australia’s capacity to collect, integrate, analyse, exploit, share and archive the large heterogeneous data sets now part of modern life science research.
