The last in our 2018 WEBINAR series features Jason Williams, Chair, EMBL-ABR International Scientific Advisory Group. Jason is in Australia to present first at AMSI Bioinfosummer 2018 hosted by the University of Western Australia in Perth, before heading to Melbourne for the EMBL-ABR All Hands meeting on 29-30 November.

UWA Node members Phillip Bayer and David Edwards will be representing EMBL-ABR at Bioinfosummer and look forward to talking with attendees from all over Australia.

Once again our thanks go to the ANDS/RDS/Nectar teams for collaborating with us to make the webinar series possible.

Biological research increasingly depends on computational analysis of large and complex data sets. This 1-hour webinar provides a comprehensive look at platforms, tools, and services for large-scale data analysis provided by CyVerse, a cyberinfrastructure (CI) project of the US National Science Foundation.

The webinar will introduce the basic components of CyVerse CI including the Discovery Environment (a simple web portal for managing data, analyses and workflows); the Data Store (scalable, secure, and reliable storage for terabyte-scale data management); Atmosphere (one-click, on-demand cloud computing); and the Visual and Interactive Computing Environment (flexible implementations of Jupyter Labs, Rstudio, and R Shiny).

CyVerse provides a full stack of CI services with entry points for computational novices and software developers. All resources are freely available to the community and free accounts can be obtained at user.cyverse.org

Presenter: Jason Williams. Assistant Director, External Collaborations Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, DNA Learning Center and Education, Outreach and Training lead for CyVerse.
