Australian Bioinformatics Grid Network

OzBioGrid will be an open source, collaborative, bioinformatics environment supporting Australian biotechnology and life science researchers on the Grid. Researchers will be able to use distributed resources including databases, computational power and analytical tools, and to collaborate remotely, using customized work environments. With hubs in Brisbane, Canberra and Melbourne, and nodes elsewhere, OzBioGrid will build on Australia s high performance computing capacity. It will greatly enhance Australia s research capability by networking ARC and other centres of excellence, major national research facilities, independent researchers, biotechnology companies, bioinformatics research centres, public databases. It will be linked to bio-grid initiatives overseas.
