Life Sciences Computation Centre

The La Trobe hub of the Life Sciences Computation Centre (LSCC) provides access to world-class computing facilities, software, bioinformatics support and training.

The LSCC at La Trobe is part of the Victorian Life Sciences Computation Initiative (VLSCI). We are funded by LIMS, La Trobe e-Research, the School of Life Sciences at La Trobe and the VLSCI.

The LSCC runs regular workshops, some of which are held at La Trobe University. LSCC events are advertised on the LSCC website.

Research and Bioinformatics Support

Please contact us if you need bioinformatics support for a project. We're always happy to discuss potential new projects, large or small. If you're starting a new project please try to involve us as early as possible.

Although we are happy to discuss any kind of project, our main areas of expertise are:

differential expression analysis (RNA-Seq, Proteomics, Microarray)
proteomics and proteogenomics
next-generation sequence analysis
cancer genetics
comparative genomics
protein modelling
database development
web application development
high performance computing (we can provide technical advice on this)
general application development and scripting.

Facilities

Galaxy

We maintain the La Trobe Galaxy Instance. Galaxy is a fantastic resource for performing bioinformatics analysis in your web browser. The La Trobe Galaxy Instance is backed by a new 32 core 512GB server purchased by e-Research La Trobe.
