Summary
Major upgrade of the computing hardware and software for the widely used BioManager bioinformatic service. ANGIS has been an Australian national facility for bioinformatics since 1991, now with over 4000 users across 150 university schools or departments, government departments, hospitals and research institutes. The grant will provide the computer upgrade and software support needed to handle the enormous increases in database size and complexity and expand the service into new areas of bioinfo ....Major upgrade of the computing hardware and software for the widely used BioManager bioinformatic service. ANGIS has been an Australian national facility for bioinformatics since 1991, now with over 4000 users across 150 university schools or departments, government departments, hospitals and research institutes. The grant will provide the computer upgrade and software support needed to handle the enormous increases in database size and complexity and expand the service into new areas of bioinformatics. Bioinformatics is critical to much of modern biology, and the improvements will enhance research and data analysis in many areas of research, leveraging more value from the research being undertaken by users.

The ARC CoE for Plant Success in Nature and Agriculture will discover the adaptive strategies underpinning productivity and resilience in diverse plants and deepen knowledge of the genetic and physiological networks driving key traits. Using novel quantitative and computational approaches, the Centre will link gene networks with traits across biological levels, giving breeders an unparalleled predictive capacity. The Centre will accelerate technologies to transfer successful networks into crops and build legal frameworks to secure this knowledge. With a uniquely multidisciplinary team, the Centre will deliver new strategies to address the problems of food security and climate change, establishing Australia as a global leader in these areas.Read moreRead less
