"It definitely feels like we had a head start on the project and could jump straight into our science."

NeSI and Genomics Aotearoa are consulting with researchers to guide the ongoing development of a new data repository for genomic data.

"Nationally, and as a global citizen, we are under increasing pressure to make informed decisions regarding commercial and recreational activities, and how they can be balanced with the protection of our marine ecosystems. "

"Through the Consultancy with NeSI, I was able to develop my code to be far more efficient."

"During the consultancy I learned a great deal about how to program efficiently, implement unit testing, and how seemingly tiny changes to a script can have a great effect on the required time and computer resources."

James Shepherd wanted to reduce the turnaround time for processing his data, so he applied for a Consultancy project with NeSI research software engineers.

“I will now be able to make better maps of environmental variables, and hence much better models of species distributions."

“The driving force wasn’t so much the problem itself, but the need to share expertise across New Zealand. We wanted to elevate the software community’s skills and our own.”

"NeSI experts introduced new technical ideas and tools which we will use and implement elsewhere."
