生物信息学培训平台（BTP）的开发是为了提供提供复杂的动手生物信息学培训课程所需的计算基础设施。BTP是一种基于云的解决方案，用于向地理位置分散的澳大利亚研究人员提供下一代测序培训。BTP的建立是为了在对生物信息学培训有很高需求但缺乏所需的专用生物信息学培训套件的主办大学和组织提供一个简单、可访问、一致和具有成本效益的方法。为了支持BTP的广泛应用，该平台已经与多个云基础设施兼容。BTP是一个开源和开放访问的资源。迄今为止，BTP已在澳大利亚10多个地点为700多名学员提供了20个培训讲习班。
The Bioinformatics Training Platform (BTP) has been developed to provide access to the computational infrastructure required to deliver sophisticated hands-on bioinformatics training courses. The BTP is a cloud-based solution that is in active use for delivering next-generation sequencing training to Australian researchers at geographically dispersed locations. The BTP was built to provide an easy, accessible, consistent and cost-effective approach to delivering workshops at host universities and organizations with a high demand for bioinformatics training but lacking the dedicated bioinformatics training suites required. To support broad uptake of the BTP, the platform has been made compatible with multiple cloud infrastructures. The BTP is an open-source and open-access resource. To date, 20 training workshops have been delivered to over 700 trainees at over 10 venues across Australia using the BTP.
