Bioinformatics Computation and Consulting Center

To facilitate USC researchers' access to our licensed bioinformatics tools and also address the growing computational needs for high-throughput 'omics data analysis, the Norris Medical Library has purchased five high-powered computers for the free use of all USC users. 

Equipped with fast CPUs, ample memory and hard disk space, the computers are pre-installed with a core set of bioinformatics tools and fully configured for statistical and functional analysis of various 'omics data.
