BioAssist

NBIC's BioAssist programme supports the bioinformatics needs of Netherlands Genomics Initiative (NGI), and ultimately all people that need bioinformatics in The Netherlands. The programme has different parts for different kinds of support.

Structure of the BioAssist programme

• For recurring tasks, we have set up Task Forces that collaborate on software platforms that are usable both by bioinformaticians and biologists.
• For incidental tasks, our Bioinformatics Research Support (BRS) group can help find the right tools and adapt them to a specific problem.
• To be able to help many users without having to install all software everywhere, our e-Science support group takes applications and makes them available through remote (web) interfaces.
• To make new tools that were developed as academic prototypes available to a larger users group, our BioAsssist Engineering Team (BET) will take them one step further along in their development. The Engineering Team also works on general tools for data interoperability in the context of the Concept Web Alliance (CWA).
