II-New: ABC-A Biology Cloud

下一代测序技术和大规模结构基因组学项目正在进行的革命导致了基因组序列和蛋白质结构的急剧增加。这将生物学研究带入了一个数据驱动的时代，需要计算方法和设施来处理和分析海量数据。在这个项目中，PI开发了一个名为A Biology Cloud(ABC)的云计算基础设施，以支持生物信息学和计算生物学领域的研究。ABC是基于OpenStack构建的，OpenStack得到了180多家大公司的支持，并迅速成为云基础设施的标准。ABC将使北达科他州立大学(NDSU)的研究人员能够在各自的领域开展开创性的研究，并促进和促进他们之间的跨学科合作。在这个项目中，PI实施全面的教育计划，以发展NDSU的优秀学术项目，并为学生提供新的研究和教育机会。通过各种外展活动，PIs向高中生和公众介绍现代技术，以提高他们对STEM的兴趣。

The ongoing revolution in next generation sequencing technologies and large-scale structural genomics projects has led to dramatic increase in genomic sequences and protein structures. This has brought biological research into a data-driven era, where computational methods and facilities are needed for handling and analyzing the huge volumes of data. In this project, the PIs develop a cloud computing infrastructure called A Biology Cloud (ABC) to support research in the areas of bioinformatics and computational biology. ABC is built based on the OpenStack, which is supported by more than 180 large companies and has quickly become the standard for cloud infrastructure. ABC will enable researchers at North Dakota State University (NDSU) to conduct pioneering research in their respective fields and promote and facilitate cross-disciplinary collaborations among them.In this project, the PIs implement comprehensive educational plans to develop excellent academic programs at NDSU and to provide new research and educational opportunities for students. Through a variety of outreach activities, the PIs introduce modern technologies to high school students and the public to enhance their interest in STEM.
