Discover data and analysis resources for infectious disease research with representatives of three programs supported through the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Bioinformatics Resource Centers initiative.
The Bacterial and Viral Bioinformatics Resource Center (BV-BRC), the Pathogen Data Network and BRC-Analytics will introduce their programs and platform capabilities, highlighting how these resources can support researchers and bioinformaticians in Australia.
You will hear about:
BV-BRC — Bacterial and Viral Bioinformatics Resource Center: integrated bacterial and viral data, with tools for genome assembly, annotation and comparative analysis.
PDN — Pathogen Data Network: an international network connecting knowledgebases, datasets and analysis tools to support infectious disease research.
BRC-Analytics: a browser-based environment connecting genomic data with curated analysis workflows, using Galaxy to support reproducible research.
The webinar will be followed by an extended audience Q&A where you can meet the teams, identify resources relevant to your work and explore opportunities for collaboration with Australia's research community.
Speakers:
Maulik Shukla, Project Lead / Computer Scientist, Argonne National Laboratory — BV-BRC
Jason Williams, Assistant Director, DNA Learning Center, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory — PDN
To be confirmed — BRC-Analytics
Who the webinar is for:
This webinar is for life scientists, bioinformaticians and people who support data-intensive research in Australia. It will be particularly relevant to those working with infectious disease, microbial genomics or public health data, and to research support staff helping others find suitable data and analysis resources. No previous experience with these programs is assumed.
How to join:
This webinar is free to join but you must register for a place in advance.
