BRAEMBL, pronounced "bramble",〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.qfab.org/2013/07/22/bioinformatics-resources-in-australia/ )〕 is a research support facility〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.imb.uq.edu.au/research-support-facilities )〕 for bioinformatics services at The University of Queensland. The acronym "BRAEMBL" stands for Bioinformatics Resource Australia - EMBL. Many of BRAEMBL's services are provided to compensate for the disadvantages of Australia's distance to the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) in Hinxton, UK. The distance leads to long delay paths over TCP network connections which make data transfers slow despite their high bandwidth.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1072 )〕 This can be a problem for Australian researchers, because data volumes in life sciences can be large,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22009675 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://nar.oxfordjournals.org/content/37/suppl_1/D19.short )〕 so slow download speeds from the EBI can make their data hard to access. The distance also means longer waiting times for support requests because of the different time zones. BRAEMBL alleviates this by providing mirrors of software from the EBI and local support to Australian researchers for EBI services. BRAEMBL also hosts software from Australian researchers〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://jbiol.com/1471-2105/14/S16/S14/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://bioinformatics.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2014/05/23/bioinformatics.btu354.short )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24653643 )〕 and in some cases, aids the development of analysis tools for them. ==Funding== BRAEMBL is funded by the Australian government.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://braembl.org.au/AnnualReport/2014/index.html#h.nj9diphfmjbz )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「BRAEMBL」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
