-For safety and privacy reasons, BIOS data (genome, transcriptome, methylome and phenome) is only accessible for downstream analysis at a SURFsara virtual machine (VM). The BIOS VM is managed by Martijn Vermaat and Leon Mei. Since the resources and capacity of this VM are limited, it should only be used for downstream analysis. If you want to work on many BAM files or similar expensive analysis you would normally use a cluster for, it's probably better to get acquainted with working on the grid directly. If you are not sure contact Martijn or Leon.

 The current test VM runs these specs:
  * 16 processors
  * 128 Gb RAM
- * 4.5Tb disk space mounted at /virdir. This is the place you could keep your analysis data. The files in /virdir/Backup folder will be backed up about once per month. The files in /virdir/Scratch are not backed up.
