[AMOS-help] available AMOS installations: National Center for Genome Analysis Support (NCGAS)

[Tom D. <tg...@gm...>]

Hi,
As part of the below project, we've installed Hawkeye/Amos, and intend 
to maintain it as long it is maintained.  Some of you may also be 
interested in the various assemblers that are part of this project.



Hi,

NSF has awarded IU money to make available computer clusters and curated 
software that will further genomic/metagenomic/etc research of NSF 
funded researchers.  This funding is in part because the current 
informatics infrastructure that NSF funds is not considered to be very 
helpful to biologists. I and my boss Mike Lynch are the biology 
consultants (Mike is a co-P).

The entire award is for support, nationwide; all the computer time is 
made available by the collaborating institutions and NSF.

We started with assemblers for next generation sequencing projects, that 
require computer clusters with _lots_ of memory, but are spreading out 
to assembly validation, annotation, and then analysis and phylogenetics. 
If what you need isn't there yet, let us know---there is a very good 
chance we will add it. (The aim is to help biologists use NSF-funded 
computational resources, so there is a good chance we can expand beyond 
"genomics.")

While we've been putting this together for about a year, the NSF funding 
only kicked in Nov. 2011, and we're just starting to eagerly attract users.

Check out the web site http://ncgas.org, use the contact address there, 
or ask me questions.

Yours,
Tom
