An integrated high-performance computational platform powering systems biology investigation

系统生物学是将有机体作为一个整体来研究，它提供了对生物过程的更深层次的理解，而不是单独研究组成部分。被认为是生物学研究的关键，我们建议建立一个先进的计算平台，在系统水平上研究这些过程。它的硬件和专门的软件将允许澳大利亚研究人员检查涉及动物和人类健康和疾病的复杂途径，以及生物技术和环境过程。它将提供澳大利亚目前没有的独特能力，并帮助澳大利亚研究人员在突破性科学和前沿技术方面保持国际竞争力。

Systems biology is the study of the organism as a whole and provides a deeper understanding of biological processes than is possible by studying components separately. Recognised as essential for biological research, we propose to establish an advanced computational platform to study these processes at a systems level. Its hardware and specialised software will allow Australian researchers to examine complex pathways involved in animal and human health and disease, as well as in biotechnology and environmental processes. It will provide unique capabilities not currently available in Australia, and help Australian researchers remain internationally competitive in breakthrough science and frontier technologies.
