Research Computing
Biologists are becoming increasingly reliant on computational methods to perform their research. Such methods can be used to enable the visualisation and analysis of large biological data sets and to address complex biological problems. QFAB offers access to a number of advanced computing resources in order to support these research efforts.
Research Computing resources offered by QFAB include the CSIRO-NCI Cluster, a compute cluster and storage environment as well as the Systems Biology Platform, a state-of-the-art, scalable computational environment to analyse, model and infer biomolecular networks. QFAB also hosts a UCSC genome browser mirror which provides the ability to visualise and query the genomic annotations of over 50 species. Further details of the Research Computing resources available at QFAB are outlined in the case studies listed below.
