Our aims

Challenges in ’Omics

Software installation for data analysis is complex and involves multiple dependencies.

HPC architectures vary between institutions and accessibility is a lottery.

Metagenomic analyses involve large datasets and take a long time to run.

Big data ’omics analyses using HPC are not core skills for researchers and have a steep learning curve.

Solutions

We use cloud-based containerised instances with pre-installed software which are scalable and easy to access.

We deliver high quality training with a low barrier to participation - absolutely zero previous experience needed!

Our Approach

We offer training in both self-study and workshop formats, with a mix of online and in-person teaching

We are building a community of practice: a community of bioinformaticians who can support one another.

We are following open science principles and making our resources FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable).
