Brief description
The Centre for Innate Immunity and Infectious Disease (CIIID) conducts research into the early immune response process to determine how the body responds to infection or the presence of cancer cells. The centre has collected a large quantity of biological data in various forms, including especially large quantities of biological sequence data.Significance Statement
The collection data represents a unique collection of biological data from a range of specific and expanding experiments. The collection includes a large component of data from “Next Generation Sequencing” (NGS) experiments which are still undergoing extensive analysis, and this collection is expected to increase as new experiments are undertaken over coming months and years. The data includes a series of experiments investigating the genetic responses to infections and diseases that are unique to not just Australia, but to the whole world.
Analysis of the data has so far revealed significant new discoveries regarding the biological factors regulating gene activities in response to infection, and this body of knowledge will expand yet further as more data sets are incorporated, and more in-depth analysis undertaken. Generation of such NGS data remains highly expensive, and virtually impossible to re-create. It is therefore vital that this data is protected and preserved to ensure that maximum value is extracted from it.
To date, the data has been stored on both local desktop computers and on the existing virtual appliances. The objective is to locate the data onto long term storage on RDSI to provide secure data warehousing, and also sharing between researchers within CIIID.
