Caltech Bioinformatics Resource Center (CBRC) provides pipeline development, benchmarking, bioinformatics consulting, and general training to all Caltech researchers. This Resource Center bridges the gap between biological research and up-to-date NGS information technology (e.g., single-cell RNA-seq data workflow), and supports both technology development and novel biology discoveries in a collaborative manner.
This facility utilizes on-campus computational resources for pipeline development, data processing and bioinformatics analysis. Caltech and external customers are welcome to contact the center for bioinformatics consulting services.
CBRC is affiliated with the Beckman Institute at Caltech and provides bioinformatics services to the community.
As a Beckman Institute Resource Center, CBRC is involved in developing and benchmarking new bioinformatics tools for genomic, transcriptomic and epigenomic data processing. (YouTube video from Professor Lior Pachter Lab).
CBRC works with Caltech and external groups to study basic biological systems and to tackle biomedical problems. Fee-based bioinformatics services are provided for NGS workflow development and NGS data analysis.
CBRC supports bioinformatics seminars and hands-on workshops. Our staff also provide free-of-charge office hours to Caltech groups (appointment required).
