This platform meets 3 computing needs for science: – High Performance Computing for data processing (bioinformatics, modeling) with a cluster of 26 computing nodes; – Computer applications for science (databases on clinical trials and studies on HIV and Ebola, databases on coffee, rice, insect collections, for the management of biological samples from laboratories, websites, etc.); – Training in bioinformatics and thematic schools in the South. Currently, this platform is managed and animated by a system administrator (Ndomassi TANDO), 6 bioinformaticians (Aurore COMTE, Jacques DAINAT, Alexis DEREEPER, Nicolas FERNANDEZ, Julie ORJUELA et Christine TRANCHANT-DUBREUIL) and an engineer specialized in information systems for science (Bruno GRANOUILLAC). It hosts many bioinformatics tools and scientific applications. It is used by more than 200 users. More information on the website: https://bioinfo.ird.fr Contact : bioinfo@ird.fr
