Human
Genome Project - A challenge facing researchers today is the ability to piece together
and analyze the multitudes of data currently being generated through the
Human Genome Project. NCBI's Web site serves an an integrated, one-stop,
genomic information infrastructure for biomedical researchers from around
the world so that they may use this data in their research efforts.
The Institute
for Genomic Research - (TIGR) is a not-for-profit research institute whose
primary research interests are in structural, functional and comparative
analysis of genomes and gene products from a wide variety of organisms
including viruses, eubacteria (both pathogens and non-pathogens, archaea
(the so-called third domain of life), and eukaryotes (plants, animals,
fungi and protists such as the malarial parasite).
Munich Information Centre for Protein
Sequences - (MIPS) We are the institute for
bioinformatics of the GSF (National Research Center for Environment and
Health). We were formerly located at the Max-Planck-Institute f. Biochemie.
MIPS is a member of PIR-International (Protein Identification Resource)
and of EMBnet (European Molecular Biological Network).
Bioinformatics.Org - A non-profit, academe-based organization committed to opening access to
bioinformatics research projects, providing Open Source software for
bioinformatics by hosting its development, and keeping biological
information freely available. Bioinformatics.Org is a community focused on
the freedom of information as it pertains to the biosciences, a community
sorely needed in our field, one of the most commercial of all scientific
endeavors. And there are no doors to this laboratory to lock out the
inquisitive based on any social rank. We stand firmly on our conviction
that science is for the sake of science and not to be influenced by
political and economic forces.
The Open Bioinformatics Foundation -
This foundation is
an umbrella group for the various bio*.org projects that grew out of the
original BioPerl project. The goal of the foundation is to provide
financial, administrative and technical assistance for our various open
source life science projects.
