==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 major obstacles for bioinformaticians, particularly those in the realm of health informatics. To address these needs, the Compute Canada Bioinformatics National Team (BNT) is committed to a strategy that includes leveraging existing Compute Canada resources as well as developing new resources and practices where necessary. | |||
==Who We Are== | |||
The BNT's members are comprised of bioinformatics professionals from Compute Canada, the BC Genome Sciences Centre, and the Canadian Centre for Computational Genomics. | |||
==Access to Compute Canada Resources== | |||
Compute Canada's digital research infrastructure is available free-of-charge to eligible researchers. | |||
For more information, see [https://www.computecanada.ca/research-portal/account-management/apply-for-an-account/ apply for an account] | |||
==Bioinformatics Support== | |||
If you have a bioinformatics or sequencing question, and would like to access our experts from across the country, please visit the [https://bioinformatics.computecanada.ca/ Canadian Bioinformatics Helpdesk]. You can browse the existing solutions in our forum, or simply register and post your query. One-on-one sessions are also available to eligible users in case posting a question just won't cut it. | |||
==General Support== | |||
If you are experiencing a general issue working on Compute Canada systems, please submit an email to [mailto:support@computecanada.ca support@computecanada.ca]. | |||
==Training and Education== | |||
If you're interested in bioinformatics workshops and seminars, please see our page [https://bioinformatics.computecanada.ca/events/ here] | |||
Or, if you don't see what you're looking for, please [mailto:bioinformatics@computecanada.ca let us know] your idea and we'll do our best to make it happen. | |||
==Software== | |||
