| | 5 | GCC is a growing team of 10 researchers, programmers and system managers headed by Dr. Morris Swertz (m.a.swertz@rug.nl) set up to develop, manage and exploit new bioinformatics models, software and tools to enable and support the next generation of GWA, GWL and NGS experiments. In the past two years GCC is organized as a bridge between the UMCG Department of Genetics providing bioinformatics support for the next generation sequencing facility (Prof. C. Wijmenga), the RuG Centre for Information Technology building towards ‘petabyte’ scale storage and compute infrastructure, and the Groningen Bioinformatics developing new bioinformatics method for high-throughput data (Prof. R.C. Jansen). Moreover, GCC is strongly rooted in national and international including the European Bioinformatics Institute, [http://www.nbic.nl Netherlands Bioinformatics Center], Netherlands Proteomics Center, [http://www.gen2phen.org EU-GEN2PHEN], EU-CASIMIR, EU-PANACEA and [http://www.bbmri.nl BBMRI-NL]. All GCC tools are collected in the open source [http://www.molgenis.org MOLGENIS] software project. |
