University of Minnesota
One Stop Portal for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics
centers, departments, programs, and resources

The bioinformatics portal is maintained by the University of Minnesota Supercomputing Institute. The goal is to provide an index and portal to the bioinformatics resources available at the University of Minnesota.

Suggestions of additional links or content that might be useful to the users of this portal are always welcome and should be addressed to compbio@msi.umn.edu.
