Scheduled downtime Aug 10
Most of BIPAA web services (including Apollo servers) will be unavailable on August 10 morning (France time) for a scheduled maintenance (system upgrade and performance improvements).
Galaxy and Blast jobs will not be impacted by this maintenance.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Two new aphid genomes
Thanks to Peter Thorpe, two new aphid genomes are now available in AphidBase:
Myzus cerasi (Black Cherry aphid) and Rhopalosiphum padi (Bird cherry-oat aphid)
Enjoy!
New website for Myzus persicae
We are progressively migrating all our genomes to a brand new system (based on Docker, Galaxy and GMOD tools).
Today we are happy to announce that the Myzus persicae has been migrated, and is now available for everyone.
The old Myzus persicae website will stay online for a few weeks while we fix the last bugs and make some polishing.
Feel free to test the new website and give us some feedback.
Unscheduled downtime
We are experiencing problem on one of our storage system, as a result, our web services are currently degraded.
We are working hard to bring everything back online. Sorry for the inconvenience.
EDIT: The problem is now fixed, all services are back to normal
New annotation guidelines
If you are involved in the annotation of new genomes using Apollo, we have just made available up-to-date guidelines to help you in the curation process.
These guidelines will be used during the March 22nd and 31st webinars.
Scheduled downtime
Due to a general shutdown of the electrical installations of Irisa/Inria, the entire GenOuest and BIPAA infrastructure will be stopped on 24 March afternoon with a progressive restart scheduled on 27 March.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
