The University of Missouri Bioinformatics Consortium (UMBC) supports collaborative research in bioinformatics and life sciences across the University of Missouri System and around the globe. 

The UMBC is a System-wide resource for high-performance computational infrastructure, which emphasizes and facilitates inter-campus communication and bioinformatics research collaborations. The UMBC provides the following services to users:

  • High-performance computational systems to analyze massive sets of data
  • Very large storage devices to house major data collections
  • High speed networking services to facilitate location-independent access and collaboration among investigators
  • Software applications supporting research in bioinformatics (e.g. sequence analysis, microarray data storage and analysis), molecular modeling, computational physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, etc.
  • Technical support from experienced staff
  • For a list of all the pages of this web site please see our sitemap.
