ANGIS
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Australian National Genomic Information Service (ANGIS) provides access for biologists to a comprehensive system of bioinformatics software, databases, documentation, training and support, on a subscription basis. Whilst clearly targeted at Australian researchers, the tools ANGIS provides are available online and is available to investigators worldwide.

[edit] Tools
BioManager and WebANGIS are the two main resources ANGIS provides, with WebANGIS having been developed in house. BioManager was developed from the earlier tool BioNavigator which was originally developed by a now defunct Australian bioinformatics company.[1][citation needed] ANGIS also provides a variety of training resources and courses to help make these tools readily usable by the scientific community.
[edit] History
ANGIS began as a project at the University of Sydney in 1990, originally the Sydney University Sequence Analysis Interface (SUSAI) as a multi-disciplinary effort spearheaded by Trevor Cole, Alex Reisner and Peter Reeves. One year later in 1991, SUSAI became ANGIS through the formation of the Australian Genomic Information Center (AGIC), a government sanctioned research center. ANGIS is currently operated by the University of Sydney in New South Wales, Australia.
