The ABLeS (Australian BioCommons Leadership Share) program was established in April 2021 to more readily support data-driven bioinformatics. This effort is supported by [Australian BioCommons](https://www.biocommons.org.au/) in partnership with Bioplatforms Australia, [National Computational Infrastructure (NCI, Canberra)](https://nci.org.au/), and the [Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre (Pawsey, Perth)](https://pawsey.org.au/).

ABLeS targets established groups and communities that are focused on a common research theme, create reference data and/or software, and have the ability to plan and prioritise a computational research program.

ABLeS offers access to:

ABLeS projects broadly align with the following three principles:
12
+
- computational and data infrastructure;
13
+
- specialized expertise;
14
+
- support on adopting best practices and effectively sharing outputs;
15
+
- a community-driven repository of bioinformatics software, including tools and workflows.

## ABLeS project types
42
-
43
-
### Creation of reference data assets
29

<br/>
44
30
45
-
ABLeS reference data allocations support research groups and consortia within the life sciences to access the dedicated compute capacity required to efficiently construct reference data.
46
-
47
-
### Production bioinformatics
48
-
49
-
Institutes, consortia and core facilities are increasingly facing issues scaling their in-house compute and data infrastructure to the questions, sample sizes, and data set sizes they are addressing as part of their research programs. ABLeS production allocations support these groups to implement and run their computational workflow approaches for omics data analysis *at scale*.

### Software accelerator

Software accelerator allocations will directly support the further development, installation, optimisation, testing and/or benchmarking of bioinformatics software. These allocations are intended to create a culture of best practice in software, helping bioinformaticians to effectively share and document their work, and make it [FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable)](https://doi.org/10.1038/s41597-022-01710-x).
ABLeS is co-funded by <ahref="https://bioplatforms.com/biocommons/">Bioplatforms Australia</a>, <ahref="https://nci.org.au/">the National Computational Infrastructure (NCI)</a> and <ahref="https://pawsey.org.au/">Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre</a>. This program forms part of the national Australian BioCommons infrastructure.
