This workshop is focused on knowing iPlant, which is an initiative established by the United States National Science Foundation (NSF) in 2008 to develop cyberinfrastructure for research in life sciences and to democratize access to supercomputing capabilities, making broadly applicable resources available across the life science disciplines and providing powerful extensible platforms for data storage, bioinformatics, image analyses, cloud services, APIs, and more.
IPlant is a virtual organization led by the University of Arizona, Texas Advanced Computing Center, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, and University of North Carolina at Wilmington.
