Seeking to collaborate in the worldwide fight against Coronavirus, NVIDIA, a company specialized in artificial intelligence computing, is providing free access to its NVIDIA Parabricks program, a software suite to perform secondary analysis of DNA data from next generation sequences.

Parabrick's free use licenses are valid for 90 days and are directed to the scientific community and researchers.

Based on the well-known Genome Analysis Toolkit, Parabricks uses GPUs to speed up the analysis of sequence data by up to 50 times. One of the main benefits of Parabricks is that it is designed to deliver results at high speeds and at a low cost.

For researchers working with Oxford Nanopore's long-read data, a repository of GPU-accelerated tools is available on GitHub. In addition, the following applications already have NVIDIA GPU acceleration integrated: Medaka, Racon, Raven, Reticulatus, Unicycler.

Interested parties must complete the license on this form and have access to NVIDIA GPUs.

Remember that the National Research and Education Networks (NREN) of Latin America are coordinating, together with RedCLARA, various actions to support our partner institutions in the fight against the Coronavirus (COVID-19).

For more information about the free services to face the situation that afflicts us with the pandemic, which is offered to the scientific-academic community of your country, contact your national network:

Dear Latin American Research and Education Community, given the uncertain scenario imposed on us by the Coronavirus pandemic, and with the objective of protecting our entire community, considering that the pandemic could be extended until the third trimester of this year, RedCLARA, its members and the Organizing and Programme Committees of TICAL2020 made the decision to hold the tenth edition of the conference in virtual format (keeping the date: August 31 to September 2).

In recognition of the growing, innovative collaboration between Mexico’s research and education network, the Corporación Universitaria para el Desarrollo de Internet (CUDI), and CENIC’s California Research and Education Network (CalREN), CUDI and the individual who has led CUDI since its inception, Carlos Casasús, were awarded the CENIC 2020 Innovations in Networking Award for R&E Network Partner.

The Alberto Luiz Coimbra Institute for Postgraduate and Research of Engineering at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (COPPE-UFRJ), and the National Laboratory for Scientific Computing (LNCC), both from Brazil, join forces with SCALAC and make available to researchers and scientists, free of charge, the data processing capabilities of their supercomputers for research in search of the solution to the Coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19).
