Universities and research institutes regularly offer local high-performance or high-throughput computing resources supporting their diverse internal user communities. These local users can range from researchers to students at various levels of expertise, and can span different disciplines and application areas, depending on the individual institution. The provided computational and data...

Astronomy is facing an exponential increase of the data generated by the state of the art of the instruments (e.g. ALMA, LOFAR, SKA precursors, etc.). This copious data flux involves a technological challenge not only for streaming the data from the instruments to the data centres but also for analysing them and for extracting new science knowledge from them.
The AMIGA group...

RNAi-based High Content Screening (HCS) is a recent imaging technology used in systems biology to study cellular phenomena on a large scale. HCS experiments produce very large amounts of imaging data that require nontrivial automated analysis procedures, with reliable and traceable processing and data management capabilities. Due to the large data volumes and millions of image files produced,...

High-resolution Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is one of two main techniques that allow determining three-dimensional (3D) structures of biomacromolecules, such as proteins, RNA, DNA, and their complexes, at atomic resolution. Knowledge of the 3D structure of macromolecules is vital for understanding their function and mechanism of action, and can guide the design of further...
