The iPlant Collaborative Community Cyberinfrastructure for Life Science Network for Integrating Bioinformatics into Life Sciences Education April, 2014 – Omaha, Nebraska Jason Williams Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory / iPlant Collaborative
Cyberinfrastructure is a key enabler for bioinformatics education
What is Cyberinfrastructure? Training and Support Online and onsite training, user forums, support Discovery Environment 100’s Bioinformatics Apps in WYSIWYG interface Atmosphere One-click access to configurable virtual machines DNA Subway Classroom-friendly workflows for Annotation, DNA Barcoding, RNA-Seq Science APIs Low-level system APIs + Public Science APIs iPlant Data Store 100 GB allocation per user – up to ~10TB HPC Resources UA Condor Cluster + XSEDE resources at TACC
Guiding Principles Faculty identified guiding requirements that shape the development of iPlant’s educational platforms: Mix lecture and lab – have a wet bench “hook” Student-scientist partnerships – someone has to care about the data Co-investigation – projects should potentially lead to publications Scale– platforms should support projects multiple classrooms can join.
DNA Subway Educational workflows for Genomes, DNA Barcoding, RNA-Seq • Commonly used bioinformatics tools in streamlined workflows • Teach important concepts in biology and bioinformatics • Inquiry-based experiments for novel discovery and publication of data
