Establishing a National Genomics Virtual Laboratory with Galaxy CloudMan

An increasing number of small groups do not have simple access to needed bioinformatics tools and data resources. The tools are complicated to install and customize, require dedicated compute resources and data stores, and typically involve a high level of ongoing maintenance to keep the software, data and hardware current, which in turn requires significant expertise in software development, system administration and hardware and networking, as well as access to hardware resources and data- centers. Galaxy CloudMan addresses many of the issues dealing with the initial provisioning of a configured set of tools and data that have been integrated with Galaxy, thus facilitating the access to accessible and private bioinformatics platform. Through the context of CloudMan, this talk will focus on the components required to establish a national collaborative initiative that aims at connecting genome researchers with massive datasets, sophisticated analysis and visualization tools, and large-scale computational and storage infrastructure. The initiative is known as the Genomics Virtual Laboratory ; it is designed to scale to multiple locations and arbitrary cluster sizes as well as be supported by comprehensive training courses, outreach programs, and end-user support.
