EMBL Australian Bioinformatics Resource (EMBL-ABR) is a distributed national research infrastructure providing bioinformatics support
to life science researchers in Australia.
EMBL-ABR aims to:
1. increase Australia’s capacity to collect, integrate, analyse, exploit, share and archive the large heterogeneous data sets now part of modern life sciences research.
2. contribute to the development of and provide training in data, tools and platforms to enable Australia’s life science researchers to undertake research in the age of big data.
3. showcase Australian research and datasets at an international level.
4. enable engagement in international programs that create, deploy and develop best practice approaches to data management, software tools and methods, computational platforms and bioinformatics services.

EMBL-ABR started in its current form in Feb 2016
• hub – nodes network structure
• hub hosted at VLSCI, University of Melbourne
• 10 nodes at the institution/organisation level across Australia
