Synergising Australian bioinformatics resources through the launch of Galaxy Australia

Tuesday, March 20, 2018 - 15:30

Galaxy-QLD, a RCC and QCIF-operated and freely available service instance of the open, web-based Galaxy platform for computational biology research, is expanding and being relaunched in Australia as Galaxy Australia. 

NCRIS (National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy) funding sourced via QCIF will allow RCC and partner Melbourne Bioinformatics to extend and update the service model for Galaxy across Australia so all Australian researchers will soon have an increased number of tools, reference genome choice and user support at hand.

Galaxy Australia will enable accessible, reproducible, and transparent research, and is a major feature of the Australian-made Genomics Virtual Laboratory. It will run on QRIScloud, just as Galaxy-QLD did.

The high-level support RCC already provides to Galaxy-QLD, and now to Galaxy Australia, in its hosting — and by rapidly responding to the service requirements of Australian researchers through dynamic management of computational requirements for various Galaxy workloads — is vital in providing a seamless experience for Australian researchers.

In mid-March, at the ELIXIR Galaxy community meeting in Freiburg, Germany, the change to the Galaxy Australia server (usegalaxy.org.au) was announced.

Follow the news on Twitter (@GalaxyAustralia) and go to EMBL–ABR’s “Galaxy Australia Community” webpage for project updates.
