Delivering ELIXIR-UK

ELIXIR是一个旨在为欧洲生物信息构建和运营可持续基础设施的项目。由于缺乏能够利用大型生物数据集的个人，我们决定将英国ELIXIR节点的重点放在培训上。这是生物学的世纪，基因组学、转录组学、蛋白质组学和代谢组学（组学和生物信息学）是其核心。计算机是一个重要的工具，现在驱动着科学过程的许多关键方面，因此科学家需要知道如何从中获得最大的优势。尽管计算在当今科学中发挥着核心作用：-大多数研究科学家都没有能力利用新技术产生的数据“富矿”。整个社区的关键培训需求主要是分析和解释许多类型的基因组规模数据，包括下一代测序数据。基因组学是最需要培训的领域，因为它位于许多快速发展的研究学科的交叉点。许多基础设施技术人员（职业生物信息学家）没有能力提供可扩展的，可持续的解决方案来管理和解释技术进步带来的数据。关键的培训需求是在数据管理，集成，计算和软件，工具，服务和标准的技术和实践，ELIXIR-英国的核心组织是：牛津大学，曼彻斯特大学，利物浦，伯明翰和爱丁堡; NERC环境组学综合中心;惠康信托桑格研究所;基因组分析中心;和，大学学院伦敦。其他参与组织有：英国软件可持续发展研究所、哈特里中心和邓迪大学。其他组织（联合王国和ELIXIR范围内）将被纳入提供培训。

ELIXIR is a project that is designed to construct and operate a sustainable infrastructure for biological information in Europe. Owing to the dearth of individuals who can take advantage of large biological data sets, we have decided to focus the UK's ELIXIR node on training.This is the century of biology, and genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics ('omics and bioinformatics) lie at its heart. The computer is an essential tool and now drives many critical aspects of the scientific process hence scientists need to know how to gain most advantage from it. Despite the central role of computing in science today:- Most research scientists are ill-equipped to take advantage of the data 'bonanza' that is emanating from new technologies. Critical training needs across the community are, broadly, in the analysis and the interpretation of genome-scale data of many types, including next generation sequencing (NGS) data. Genomics is the area of greatest training need as it lies at the intersection of many fast-moving research disciplines.- Many infrastructure technologists (career bioinformaticians) are ill-equipped to offer scalable, sustainable solutions for managing and interpreting data arising from this flood of technological advances. Critical training needs are in techniques and practices for data management, integration, compute and software, tools, services and standards.The ELIXIR-UK Core Organisations are: the Universities of Oxford, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, and Edinburgh; the NERC Environmental Omics Synthesis Centre; the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute; the Genome Analysis Centre; and, University College London. Additional participating organisations are: the Software Sustainability Institute UK; the Hartree Centre; and the University of Dundee. Other organisations (UK and ELIXIR-wide) will be incorporated to provision training.
