Introduction
While the bioinformatics community has matured substantially in recent years, rapid development is required to keep pace with massive increases in data volume and generation. Specifically, there is still much room for improvement in the optimization of computational resources, discovery of and access to analytical tools, and training and general dissemination of bioinformatics best practices. Furthermore, privacy and data protection policies often present obstacles for bioinformaticians in the realm of health informatics. To address these needs, the Bioinformatics National Team (BNT) is committed to a strategy that includes leveraging existing Alliance resources as well as developing new resources and practices where necessary.
Access to Alliance resources
The Alliance's research infrastructure is available free-of-charge to eligible researchers. For more information, see apply for an account
General support
If you are experiencing a general issue working on Alliance systems, please email Technical support.
Software
Click here to see a list of available bioinformatics software on our systems. You can sort on 'Type', where bioinformatics software is categorized as 'bio'.
Genome database
This page or section contains obsolete information and some statements may not be valid. The technical documentation is currently being updated by our support team.
In partnership with C3G, we maintain several genome databases on Cedar and Graham. In addition to the fasta sequence, many genomes include aligner indices and annotation files. For more information about the available data click here
