CyVerse - Software, Tools, and Services for Data-Driven Discovery

CyVerse (the successor to iPlant Collaborative) serves the entire life science community by delivering the platforms, tools, and datasets that enable data-driven discovery. This session updates the community on the project's activities including new features and services. Presentations by exemplar users illustrate ways CyVerse is being used by individual investigators and as platform for entire projects. CyVerse provides resources and support for every level of user - from bench-biologists working on their first RNA-Seq project, to collaborations who need the computational support to deliver high-impact science and datasets. CyVerse is funded by the National Science Foundation (DBI-0735191 and DBI-1265383) and provides free, user-friendly access to data storage/management platforms, cloud computing, and high-performance computing. We also provide learning materials, training, and support, including serving open-source developers who want to deliver tools and pipelines to the research community.
