WEBINAR: Scaling up bioinformatics with ABLeS, the Australian BioCommons Leadership Share

This record includes training materials associated with the Australian BioCommons webinar ‘Scaling up bioinformatics with ABLeS, the Australian BioCommons Leadership Share’. This webinar took place on 12 March 2024.

Event description

The Australian BioCommons Leadership Share (ABLeS) supports access to, and efficient use of, national computational systems for big-data bioinformatics. Designed for established life sciences projects, groups, institutes and consortia, ABLeS can be used to facilitate software optimisation and scaling, implementation of optimised software for production analyses, and creation of reference data.

This webinar highlights how ABLeS is being used by life science communities across Australia to access and leverage bioinformatics at scale. We’ll explain the structure of the ABLeS program and how your life science community can get involved, as well as providing a breakdown of the program expectations and the support available from the BioCommons and our partners. Community members making use of ABLeS will share their perspective on the program, and the research outcomes that have resulted.

ABLeS is supported by the Australian BioCommons in partnership with Bioplatforms Australia, the National Computational Infrastructure, and the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre.
