EOS workshop

The institutes at the Vienna Biocenter (GMI, IMBA, IMP) have run HPC services for their life sciences research for several years. With our new infrastructure "CLIP", additional partners came on board in 2019, including the Austrian high-energy physics community. Beginning in 2020 the Austrian grid T2 setup was modernized and based on the CLIP infrastructure. We run a converged EOS instance for Alice, Belle2 and CMS and want to share our experience in getting our setup into production

1,135 Genomes Reveal the Global Pattern of Polymorphism in Arabidopsis thaliana

SummaryArabidopsis thaliana serves as a model organism for the study of fundamental physiological, cellular, and molecular processes. It has also greatly advanced our understanding of intraspecific genome variation. We present a detailed map of variation in 1,135 high-quality re-sequenced natural inbred lines representing the native Eurasian and North African range and recently colonized North America. We identify relict populations that continue to inhabit ancestral habitats, primarily in the Iberian Peninsula. They have mixed with a lineage that has spread to northern latitudes from an unknown glacial refugium and is now found in a much broader spectrum of habitats. Insights into the history of the species and the fine-scale distribution of genetic diversity provide the basis for full exploitation of A. thaliana natural variation through integration of genomes and epigenomes with molecular and non-molecular phenotypes
