This record includes training materials associated with the Australian BioCommons webinar ‘Scaling up bioinformatics with ABLeS, the Australian BioCommons Leadership Share’. This webinar took place on 12 March 2024.
Event description
The Australian BioCommons Leadership Share (ABLeS) supports access to, and efficient use of, national computational systems for big-data bioinformatics. Designed for established life sciences projects, groups, institutes and consortia, ABLeS can be used to facilitate software optimisation and scaling, implementation of optimised software for production analyses, and creation of reference data.
This webinar highlights how ABLeS is being used by life science communities across Australia to access and leverage bioinformatics at scale. We’ll explain the structure of the ABLeS program and how your life science community can get involved, as well as providing a breakdown of the program expectations and the support available from the BioCommons and our partners. Community members making use of ABLeS will share their perspective on the program, and the research outcomes that have resulted.
ABLeS is supported by the Australian BioCommons in partnership with Bioplatforms Australia, the National Computational Infrastructure, and the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre.

This record includes training materials associated with the Australian BioCommons webinar ‘Where to go when your bioinformatics outgrows your compute’. This webinar took place on 19 August 2021.
Bioinformatics analyses are often complex, requiring multiple software tools and specialised compute resources. “I don’t know what compute resources I will need”, “My analysis won’t run and I don’t know why” and "Just getting it to work" are common pain points for researchers. In this webinar, you will learn how to understand the compute requirements for your bioinformatics workflows. You will also hear about ways of accessing compute that suits your needs as an Australian researcher, including Galaxy Australia, cloud and high-performance computing services offered by the Australian Research Data Commons, the National Compute Infrastructure (NCI) and Pawsey. We also describe bioinformatics and computing support services available to Australian researchers.

This record includes training materials associated with the Australian BioCommons webinar ‘Pro tips for scaling bioinformatics workflows to HPC’. This webinar took place on 31 May 2023.
Event description
High Performance Computing (HPC) infrastructures offer the computational scale and efficiency that life scientists need to handle complex biological datasets and multi-step computational workflows. But scaling workflows to HPC from smaller, more familiar computational infrastructures brings with it new jargon, expectations, and processes to learn. To make the most of HPC resources, bioinformatics workflows need to be designed for distributed computing environments and carefully manage varying resource requirements, and data scale related to biology.
In this webinar, Dr Georgina Samaha from the Sydney Informatics Hub, Dr Matthew Downton from the National Computational Infrastructure (NCI) and Dr Sarah Beecroft from the Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre help you navigate the world of HPC for running and developing bioinformatics workflows. They explain when you should take your workflows to HPC and highlight the architectural features you should make the most of to scale your analyses once you’re there. You’ll hear pro-tips for dealing with common pain points like software installation, optimising for parallel computing and resource management, and will find out how to get access to Australia’s National HPC infrastructures at NCI and Pawsey.
