The mission of the Research Computing Resource (RCR) is to provide support for research scientists within the NYU Medical Center who require high performance computing resources, particularly in the area of molecular biology. The RCR maintains generally accessible and regularly updated sequence databases and programs for molecular biology computing.

Why use the RCR?


The RCR's Bioinformatics course (fomerly called "Using Computers for Molecular Biology") will next be offered in the Spring of 2004
(lectures Mondays from 1:30-3:00 PM Jan 26-April 26, Coles Lab 303

Online lecture notes are available
Genomics Journal Club - Summer 2001

    Automated Database Searches

    The RCR has re-created a service called DBWatcher which will automatically perform weekly BLAST searches for you, comparing any query sequences that you desire against new sequences in GenBank. It only takes a few moments to set up your own DBWatcher jobs on the DBWatcher web page.
