University of Toronto’s Michael Hoffman muses on Open Science for us this week. He sees Open Science as vital to making any progress in bioinformatics: “those developing bioinformatics methods often rely on freely available data, and those analysing data often rely on freely available methods. The speed of progress in bioinformatics has only been possible due to the availability of open data and methods.”
EMBL Australia Bioinformatics Resource (EMBL-ABR) is a distributed national research infrastructure providing bioinformatics support to Australian life science researchers. The Resource was set up as a collaboration with the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) to maximise Australia’s bioinformatics capability. This close partnership is made possible in the context of Australia’s associate membership of EMBL. EMBL-ABR is supported by Bioplatforms Australia via Australian Government NCRIS investment, and the University of Melbourne.
