The iPlant Collaborative: Cyberinfrastructure for Enabling Data to Discovery for the Life Sciences

Abstract

The iPlant Collaborative provides life science research communities access to comprehensive, scalable, and cohesive computational infrastructure for data management; identity management; collaboration tools; and cloud, high-performance, high-throughput computing. iPlant provides training, learning material, and best practice resources to help all researchers make the best use of their data, expand their computational skill set, and effectively manage their data and computation when working as distributed teams. iPlant’s platform permits researchers to easily deposit and share their data and deploy new computational tools and analysis workflows, allowing the broader community to easily use and reuse those data and computational analyses.

Abstract

This Community Page highlights the iPlant Collaborative, which provides scalable and extensible data management and computational resources for life science research, including learning materials and support to readily integrate these resources with existing workflows.
