We (Amy Sheide and myself) were awarded funds to host our Hands-on Bioinformatics Experience teaching material on XSEDE. This is a huge bonus for us and will enable us to develop our Galaxy based teaching material in a friendly environment. Many thanks to the XSEDE Resource Allocations Service. This resource complements our previous funding to update the foundations of bioinformatics course and will facilitate the practice of bioinformatics by our new students.
