Are you interested in joining this year’s BioHackathon Europe, but can’t face the long haul flights? You should join the Australian Outpost team who will gather to work locally, while checking in regularly with our international colleagues.
Read MoreGalaxy Australia has been updated with two powerful software packages installed and fully subsidised for Australian researchers to use.
Read MoreTeaching genetics is easier and more effective now that a powerful online tool is being made available to Australian researchers and trainers through a new feature of the Australian Apollo Service.
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.
Read MoreAustralian BioCommons is thrilled to announce the launch of the Australian Apollo Service in partnership with QCIF and Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre. This new service offers access to the popular tool, Apollo, which facilitates real-time collaborative curation and genome annotation editing, along with a valuable layer of IT support. The Australian Apollo Service allows researchers to focus on the genome annotation curation itself by taking care of all the system administration and hosting customised, local instances of Apollo.
Read MoreA new genome assembly and annotation promises insights into the genetic foundations of economically valuable traits in tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia). The team at Southern Cross University’ responsible for A high-quality draft genome for Melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree): a new platform for evolutionary genomics of myrtaceous terpene-rich species made excellent use of national research infrastructure provided by Australian BioCommons, including Galaxy Australia and soon-to-be-launched Fgenesh++ and Apollo services.
