Data
Some genome databases are available on our clusters, in /cvmfs/ref.mugqic/genomes.
Examine that directory and its subdirectories, e.g. with
[name@server ~]$ ls /cvmfs/ref.mugqic/genomes
or
[name@server ~]$ ls /cvmfs/ref.mugqic/genomes/species
Container repository
The Bioinformatics National Team maintains a repository of Apptainer (formerly Singularity) containers which provide common workflows and those workflows requiring preservation. Learn more at Biorepo Containers.
