1. Resource Description

   The Bioinformatics Computing Laboratory (BCL) serves as a core facility for the Border Biomedical Research Center (BBRC). Our panel of consulting faculty from the departments of Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Mathematical Sciences provide bioinformatics computing support on a broad spectrum of research projects. We specialize in developing databases and software for: genomics and proteomics data analysis; biomolecular sequence analysis and structure prediction; and glycosylation site prediction. We aid researchers in the use of these advanced bioinformatics software tools by building user-friendly, customized, web-based interfaces for them. Processing power to support the robust computational and analytical operations of the BCL are provided by a powerful network of local and regional high-performance computing facilities.
