Bioinformatics Support

Monash University Malaysia Genomics Platform (MUMGP) is equipped with a total of 30 Linux workstations with 8 Gb RAM and 500 Gb Memory to process the large amount of sequencing data generated from various projects. In addition, the facility also has access to the Advanced Computing Platform (ACP), a research infrastructure that offers high-performance computing services, and collaborates closely with their team to assist researchers in using the system. Moreover, we also have access to the MASSIVE (Multi-model Australian ScienceS Imaging- and Visualization Environment), an ISO quality-accredited, high-performance, data processing facility, in Monash University, Australia, that provides access to data processing capacity at the scale required to make impactful research discoveries. These resources provide us with the capabilities to handle a variety of projects ranging from small single-gene analysis to large genome assemblies, variant calling and comparisons.

Our Bioinformatics Support

We offer a wide range of bioinformatics analyses to help researchers in the interpretation of their data and provide consultation on study design and solutions to solve their research problems. The support includes:

- Massivelly pararellel sequencing data analyses (Whole-genome sequencing, Exome sequencing).

- RNA-Seq Analysis.

- Cancer Genomics.

- Iso-Seq Analysis.

- Variant calling analysis using publicly accessible tools such as Genome Analysis Tool Kit (GATK) best practices and FreeBayes.

- Whole Genome Assembly and Annotation.

- Mitochondrial and Chloroplast Assembly and annotation.

- 16S Metagenomics.

- Shotgun Metagenomics.

- Phylogenetic analysis.

- Assistance with GenBank Data Submission and Publications.

Giving back to Monash

In addition to providing bioinformatics services, we truly believe in empowering the students and staff of Monash University Malaysia with the skills and knowledge required to conduct genomic data analysis for their own projects. Please contact us for more information on getting access to a local workstation. We have also successfully conducted several bioinformatics training workshops over the years and continue to work with local and international researchers to train researchers in genomics and bioinformatics. In the meantime, we welcome students, staff and researchers to drop by the office (Building 3, Level 3, Room Number 20) with any questions and queries regarding genome sequencing and its applications and help with sequence data analysis.
