Computing Environment
The Bioinformatics Center operates an environment designed to meet the computational demands of bioinformatics research while ensuring the security and integrity of sensitive data. It includes Linux computing environments for interactive and batch jobs, optimized for diverse bioinformatics workloads, with remote access available.
Among the pre-installed tools and applications, users will find, for example, R, MATLAB, Python, Nextflow, Apptainer, and CellBender. For added flexibility, users are permitted to install customized versions of these applications as needed to meet specific research requirements.
Only registered UEF researchers and students are eligible to gain access to the server infrastructure. Authorization is granted for a period of two years, after which users are required to submit a renewal application to maintain access privileges.
