Falco is a software bundle that enables bioinformatic analysis of genetic data by utilising public cloud infrastructure. The pipeline is suited to single cell RNA feature quantification analysis.
Computational analysis in this field has many challenges, including processing large volumes of data in the order of tens to hundreds of gigabytes, and the use of both memory and cpu intensive computational programs. This can be challenging for the bioinformatician or biologist requiring the analysis, especially if resources are limited.
The goal of this project is to provide a framework for the researcher that provides simplified, on-demand access to computational and storage resources, as well as access to commonly used software tools required in this field.
This software has been created as part of the research for University of New South Wales (Australia) PhD candidate Andrian Yang. This research has been undertaken at the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute, under the supervision of Dr Joshua W. K. Ho.
Falco - Genus name for falcons (birds).
